my experience is there is no need to proof anything... just bring a old cam (be it functional or not), tell them u want to buy a new model using the old cam to trade in... they will provide u a list of available camera for selection... u chose, go home wait for call or sms... done... they dnt care and dont ask questions one... i just did tat in jul this year...

hmm.. really? well.. thats what i was told when i visited the showroom. ha. i will try that when i wanna trade in my pwsh camera.

canon service is pretty good. my sister had an old ixus. you know the silver one 2.0 megapixels. the first one that came out i think.

lasted all these years then 2 years ago the lcd went black. Apparently this black thing was a known issue, but it lasted so long. she brought it in asking about repairing and they automatically asked her to fill in some forms and gave her a new ixus. It was what they said was the current equivalent cos they don't make parts for that old model any more. no charges but had to give back the old cf card inside.

it was such a strange experience that she thought she was being scammed at first. but hey a credit to the canon customer service.

my sister has gone on to buy a 50d. myself, bought a powershot 590is and a few months ago i managed to buy a new 40d. my older brother was also so impressed with the service that he's also a canon person now.

yeah even when you send your stuff for servicing, so long as the item is not damage under negligence and is still under warranty, you wont have to pay for anything

Well.. They still have this upgrade scheme ongoing.

oh thanks! thought of saving money to buy in the next few months...

Hi, I am new to this Forums , just signed up , think you may get better deal with some secondhand dealers , there are a few around Penisular area.
Have been upgrading my staff this way for a long time. Just ask around with this dealers.

Let me clarify. Based on my experience so far it is 21% off RRP, because asked the pricing of 6-7 models and compared the quotes to the RRP. Prcoedure is this - I give the PNS camera I am trading in to Canon, and choose the model i want from the list of available models (it can be a PNS model or a xxxD model). They will quote a price.

So if RRP for the model is say $100, the price quoted will be around $79.

I have never used a DSLR for the trade in, only PNs so far. Model is A70. Confirmed verbally with the staff at CSC that any Canon PNS model in any condiiton is acceptable.

A70 is way back in time where PNS is up to 3.1mp. Hope this helps.

I have an even older one - A60....2Mpix. The 1 inch LCD screen seems such a luxury then. Those were the days...

Anyway i think the price they quoted was regardless of the model you have.

Don't think can upgrade a camera to lens.

Yup, I am still holding on to my Canon A40... my first digital camera. ;p

One friend of mine replaced his 28-70 F2.8L with a 24-70 F2.8L @ $400 plus. BTW, the 28-70 was beyond repair.

went to CSC to collect my lens (err01) and asked about the privilege programme and whether it applies to lenses... answer was NO. only camera bodies+lens and not lens alone

So does lens has the privilage programme or not? :dunno:

 

[josshing]

think not for lens, a few CSers had mentioned this before

 

[orionct]

just called them and they keep asking me to bring the item down to service center and they will advice, sound very secretive. And lens is not in the list, sigh...
