New Camera: Canon 40D!
Filed Under local travel, photography
While taking photos of my beautiful niece Siena, my Canon 30d camera went haywire and died. I sent it in to the Canon Factory Service Center in Irvine, CA only to hear that the damage was caused by “corrosion” and isn’t covered under warranty! I was really upset to hear this because I took care of my camera like it was my child. I can’t think of how it could have became corroded and the repair specialists couldn’t tell me what sort of liquid could have damaged it.
Worst of all, they said they wanted about $540 USD to repair the camera. There is no way in hell I’m paying that much to fix a camera that cost me about $350 more than that. I did some research and discovered a few people online that had the same problem, but they thought it was possible that it could have gotten wet sometime during their use of the camera. I’m certain mine hadn’t. While researching, I discovered that the western regional branch of the Canon Factory Service Center (where I sent my camera) has an F RATING through the Better Business Bureau! If there’s one thing I know about companies with low BBB scores, it’s that they don’t care one bit about arguments from their customers, so I’ll save an hour of my life and not write a letter to them.
Good news is that now I have an even better camera: the Canon EOS 40D! Here’s a few pictures taken on the weekend I purchased the camera:
