Canon Can
Posted: Sun 6 November, 2005 Filed under: Customer Services, Photography, Thoughts 1 Comment »Buying the new camera has been an interesting experience in a number of ways. The sheer number of offers related to the purchase has bordered on the ridiculous.
Not content with Jessops offering the lowest price around for the kit I got, if I registered with the Canon Image Gateway (a kind of Flickr-like service for users of Canon cameras) I got a 256Mb Compact Flash memory card free. Not bad – so of course I did it.
Also, if you buy a Canon DSLR before the end of the year, they’re offering a cashback offer of £100 / €150 which obviously brings the price down even further.
Oh yeah, and as well as all that, you also get a booklet with a further £625 of cashback offers on lenses, flashes etc. if you buy them before the end of the year too.
Anyone would think they were trying to give the damn things away!
If they are almost giving the camera and its other bits and bats away for virtually nothing…………………does that mean its poo?
