rprouty Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Canon CPS is okay I recently purchased two used 1DMIIIs. Wanting to know if they had ever been sent to Canon for any kind of service I called CPS. I explained that I had just purchased these used and asked if by serial number they coud tell me anything about their history. They told me couldn't tell me anything by the serial numbers but the serial numbers did fall within the numbers that may have had problems. She suggested that I send them in for a complete checkup and repair if needed. She emailed me a prepaid UPS mailing label. They're on the way to Canon. I thought that this was okay being that I purchased the used. Now the waiting begins.. Nov 06, 2009 at 07:55 PM

jerrykur Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Canon CPS is okay First, 2 1DMK3s! I am so jealous. Second, Wow. That sounds like great service. If you don't mind me asking, what is your CPS level? Jerry Nov 06, 2009 at 09:02 PM

nathanlake Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Canon CPS is okay It is good service, but if what rep told you is true, I would be disapopinted. In fact, I am amazed they can't look up a camera by SN and tell you something about them. Even if they look it up and tell you that they have never been serviced by Canon. Or, were they saying they are not peritted to tell you? As a CPS member you are permitted a number of free services (based on the level of CPS you have). Did they tell you on the phone that all costs would be covered by your CPS membership? If not, don't be surprised if they contact you about costs. Nov 06, 2009 at 09:12 PM

Paul Gardner Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Canon CPS is okay I agree CPS is great. I wasn't happy with a new lens. Called CPS and received a free shipping lable on Friday morning. Shipped it Friday afternoon, received it back on Tuesday noon, all adjusted and just like I expected it to be. Gold Level. Paul Nov 06, 2009 at 09:14 PM

thedigitalbean Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Canon CPS is okay I've called Canon (not CPS) with a serial number for a body and they were able to tell me its repair history. Nov 06, 2009 at 09:29 PM

rprouty Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Canon CPS is okay Canon said no costs because they fell within the recall for focusing issues. I have the cheapy CPS service.. Nov 06, 2009 at 09:57 PM

davenfl Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Canon CPS is okay CPS may not have access to the information but I recently called Canon New Jersey service on a 1D3 I was selling and they emailed me a complete service history printout (by serial number) for me to provide to the buyer of the camera I was selling. Maybe they were in a good mood that day but service definitely has that information. Dave Nov 06, 2009 at 10:02 PM

It is something they really need to offer considerig the uncertainty surrounding the 1D3. Nov 07, 2009 at 12:46 AM
