Update: Canon accepted my camera for free repair

[will2000]

Just to let everyone know, my A75 will be repaired for free. It seems there are many models that qualify for this.

It must be an easy repair; I would expect replacing to be cheaper.

What was your original problem? I have an A80 that's acting up - replaced it already with a 570 on sale, but if I could get it fixed without charge, I'd go for it. Mine is showing lines across the LCD and in the picture - sometimes the LCD is dark too, as is the picture.

Sounds like the very problem that is covered. Contact Canon soon before they cancel the program.

canon dealt with my 3+ year old A60 in a similar manner last summer. if all of their Customer Service is run like this, a bucketful of gold stars to them!

Canon took in my i960 printer, out of warranty with nothing but a phone call.
