I would suggest that they can't ignore what their US counterparts are doing in the age of the internet. And the European mags such as C d'I will likely take them to task over it if they don't wake up. Finally, if this is an issue for you, you should be writing Canon Europe nastigrams on the issue and shame them into action. CC to the magazines.

As a result of your posting information, I contacted Canon USA and was provided with interesting information about advantages in becoming a CPS (Canon Professional Service) member. One need not actually be a professional photographer. To become a CPS member, one must have at least two pro type Canon cameras and at least two Canon "L" type lenses. Applications may be obtained by e-mailing . In making the request for application, provide name, address, and phone number. Some benefits obtained by becoming a CPS member a Canon USA will loan equipment while equipment is being repaired. Upon request, Canon will mail replacement equipment to be used and in return, the requester will have to mail back the equipment needing repair. Upon completion of the repair, Canon will mail back to the sender the repaired unit and the loaned equipment must be mailed back to Canon. Specifically, for those having a faulty BG-E2 battery grip and battery magazine, Canon will mail a new grip and battery magazine with the expectation of the faulty grip and magazine being sent back to Canon. Canon USA will provide financial assistance in procuring equipment. Need credit in buying Canon equipment? Canon will provide what you need to get what you want. CPS members are kept informed of new advancements in equipment made by Canon which may be readily available to CPS members. Note: These services are only available through Canon USA to CPS members who are residents in the USA. I had always wondered and never found out: any charge for this? I've got a 1D already... maybe I can find an old 1v lying around somewhere. :-) |

However, as I was being advised as to the best procedure for having my BG-E2 looked at and repaired, if necessary, during the conversation I had the impression there was no fee connected with the CPS service. There's a roster of CPS members that Canon keeps on file and keeps updated on new Canon equipment. When I was told CPS was a service provided to pros who use Canon equipment, I mentioned I was not a pro but considered myself as one who, when the mood strikes me, is serious about photography as a hobby. "Doesn't matter. You have the required equipment therefore you qualify," the man said. Then I e-mailed for an application and thought about informing this group of what may be available from Canon USA subject to qualification. If Canon's system works like other systems I've encountered, I think when a request is made for loan equipment prior to sending the equipment needing repair back to Canon, the requester would need to provide a credit card number for Canon to bill to should the requester default in not sending Canon's equipment back to Canon. It would seem that way to me since a credit card number would have to be provided anyway to get repairs accomplished. |
