Upset with Canon Service Center

[LHV]

Guys do you know where i can have my powershot A 560 repaired aside from Canon service center, nabasa kasi siya sa bag ko yung digicam inabutan ako ng malakas na ulan habang nagmomotor ako,

nag research ako about Canon Service center and they have good reviews kaya I have my hopes high na magagawa yung digicam ko kasi nag power up pa naman siya tsaka nag display pa yung LCD, pagdating ko ng Canon they are charging me 15 thousand for the repair of 3 parts samantalang 11 thou lang ang bili ko sa digicam ko and for 10 thousand I can buy the new 8megapixel A590IS,

Can you imagine having a service center like that, Can you imagine Honda, Toyota and the likes practicing their business like that pag nasira ang tsikot mo na 1M sisingilin ka ng P1.5 million to have it repaired

short of telling you na canon digicams are disposable. got mine with extended 2-yr warranty. na-sales talk kasi ako na covered daw in case raw mabasa o ma-drop, though, wala pa namang problema sa unit ko so far.

Personally, extended warranties on electronics is a waste of money.

Kung hindi siya covered by warranty, just buy a new one, preferably yung waterproof. Once na mabasa kasi loob niyan, kahit anong electronic device, unreliable na siya. The service center will just end up making a full overhaul on the camera and you'll definitely be spending more than its actually worth.

What exactly is wrong with the camera that needs to be fixed?

[Memphis Raines]

Tell them to keep the camera.

ganyan din ang SONY CAMERA kulang na lang sabihin sayo buy ka na lang ng bago

[roninblade]

buy a new camera - get a waterproof one or keep it in waterproof bag next time when you go out riding.

Yup sa Marvin Plaza Bldg na Service center ko siya dinala, nag leave pa ako from my work in Laguna, parang gusto kong magwala nung malaman kong ganun ang pricing, I also though that the most expensive part of the camera is the lens, eh hindi naman sira yung lens, 3 electronic parts ang sira na tig 5thousand ang isa, its just like saying na junk na yung camera pag nasira after the warranty period,

ganun din ba ang Sony tsk tsk sayang cybershot pa naman sana tinitignan ko ngayon, gusto ko sana yung A590IS kaso pag ganyan ang sistema I'm looking for my alternatives

yup I will look for a waterproof case next time, nahirapan kasi akong maghanap ng waterproof na backpack maski sa mga mountaineering na store sa mga mall
