I bought a new Sony lens and after some time it was not autofocusing properly it was under warranty so i went to Sony service center, after some time they called me to pick up the lens, when i went there and got the lens i was surprised to see that it was not the lens i gave them to repair instead it was a brand new lens, when i asked them they told me that they were not able to fix my old lens so they are giving me this new lens as a replacement. And everything was for free no service charge, no hidden charge, nothing. Since that day i am using most of the electronics from sony (Except my phone which is Samsung).

I've never dealt with Canon but once when I needed a sensor replacement on my Nikon Pro DSLR they had me send it to Sweden (I was in Denmark) and sent me a loan to use whilst it was being fixed. Only a couple of weeks it took if i remember right. Very good service from Nikon Nordic. Same with Sony Nordic. I was asking about the A9ii once and they offered to loan me two bodies and two prime lenses for testing. They drove a couple of hours to my town to deliver personally and I ended up having them for 3 months. Had to remind them I still had them and ask if they ever wanted it back! They were all super friendly and accommodating. I was considering the C70 and haven't heard anything negative about Canon Nordic so I'm not that concerned.

Corps hate that because the reality is it would of cost you under $100 to file a SCC claim where they as a corporation would have had to hire a lawyer and pull a company representative from work for an entire day to appear in court. It would have cost them too much. Anyway that’s what I threaten corps who refuse to abide to the rules and it works like a charm all the time. They would have handed you a new lens pronto.

My friend passed away and his family gave me his entire Nikon DSLR system with cancer so I sent in my PowerShot to KEH for a trade in and they fixed it and sold it in a week for $730. They gave it an excellent rating. Canon never tried to fix it. I would have kept had I known it was easily fixable.

Had the same issue with my C70- took it to Costa Mesa Canon, they said they fixed the issue, and it was still there. This happens with two separate issues- one under warranty, one my own fault. I learned from the first time to put in the notes that a supervisor will evaluate all fixes, otherwise I would file a chargeback with my credit card company for false repairs. And they did that, they had a supervisor check out my repairs (also took an R5 there). I think their cinema department has a guy who just is incompetent and pretends to do the work, but they cannot find out who this guy is.

I believe their issue lies within their repair team. I’m not certain how Canon does it but I used to work in customer support for a tech company (🍎) and when a device is broken we’d send the repair request to the technician etc and they’d determine cost (although they shouldn’t have charged if something was indeed promised to be covered).

I am in the market for my next upgrade. Have used Nikon for 1.5 decade and thankfully never had any issues which demand service. Now I am in the market for next upgrade with better video features and Sony was the obvious choice. I know Canon is the no. 1 camera company but never considered them as an option because of their closed lens mount ecosystem coming in the newer cameras. After zeroing down on Sony, suddenly Lumix S52X came in the horizon out of nowhere and I am like 90% settled onto it since it has some features which I imagined in my next camera but did not find in any Sony or Nikon. But now feeling scary about their durability and reliability being a relatively less popular brand compared to the other 3 giants. I am a firm believer that If I need to visit service station for the camera in it's lifetime then its already a bad product. So I would like to know about the Lumix camera quality in the long term as well as how repairable they are in the aftermarket and how is the quality of their authorized service along with warranty fulfillment promises.

I think Panasonic will do you just fine. It’s a “small” camera brand, but not as a whole (they make appliances, gadgets, and stuff). I would also like to own Lumix cameras, but in my country, Lumix is not that popular. Lumix cameras are more expensive and rare here. So if you live in USA or Japan, then repairs in the official service centers or aftermarket would be less of an issue.

That’s a really painful story… such things vary in each location/country. In my country Canon has a third party service center, which works well, but it is very expensive. I have a story with a Leica-Panasonic AF zoom lens. I had the zooming mechanism jammed and took it to two service centers for quoting. Both said it will cost 250 USD. Than I checked the internet and found out that this was an issue with a whole series of these lenses and I even found a video, showing how to fix this. I followed the video and I was shocked. The only issue was a loosen screw inside the lens. And it took me 10minutes to repair it. An experienced guy who repairs lenses would do it in 2-3 minutes. So they charge 250USD for 3min. of work and tell You that it is a complicated issue. Many service centers behave like this and it is a shame.

I think this might be key - I’ve never called for repair work without being redirected to use CPS (the low end $100 option). CPS has fast turnaround and the paid plans cover some of the shipping . Full sensor replacement there and back took less than a week under CPS. Separately, look into getting reimbursed from your credit card company if you bought the C70 or lens on a major card. Visa for instance covers you for extended warranty support beyond the manufacturer . For instance , I spent $100 for CPS (one time right before the repair) and $400 for my sensor repair and Visa reimbursed my claim for $400 as they had extended my warranty two extra years for using their card

Regardless of how good their top-tier models might be, I immediately crossed them off my list because I didn't want a person passing by to see me holding a Canon and think, "oh, cheap Wal-Mart camera".

Fun fact they use a 3rd party company for repairs. They are branded as canon but it’s not truly canon. It’s one of the worst parts of own canon gear is getting it fixed.

@robsmith679411 ай бұрын
I've used Canon for years but have never had to contact customer service as I've never had a fault or failure, so I can't really comment. I did think about going to Sony solely due to price and capability, however I remembered the problems I had with all Sony products I ever bought in the past. This just goes to show my age, but I had a Walkman, CD player and DVD player and all failed just outside of warranty. In all instances Sony refused to repair or replace the items. So, for me, no matter how good Sony cameras appear I don't trust Sony.

Servicing my gear through CPS has been nothing short of exceptional. Sorry to hear about your experience. If you ever do go back to Canon, CPS is a great way to get your gear serviced/repaired and have then send you a loaner body/lens while your gear is in the shop. That way you stay gear-ready for projects. They’ll even send you flagship bodies if they’re available.

I went digital it 1998 with a Canon based Kodak DCS5 and quickly discover it was incapable of getting a decent red. I was stonewalled for six months before they sent two managers to show me what a dork I was, that was when the realised the camera sucked. You would not believe the lies they told when they realised the extent of the problem, even denying there was a fault. My budget went from £7,500 to £25,000 before I had a camera that worked. Later I bought a Fuji pictography at a trade show, as it was expensive they said they would do a deal, last years demo version for £1,500 less, sorted! Only a year later I had to call out an engineer, he said the unit was 15 years old. At the moment I am pissed of by the way Canon mirrorless screw up focus accuracy with Sigma lenses.

This is the reason I left Nikon and switched to Canon back in 2017. Nikon held my camera hostage for 3 months and refused to own up to a known problem on their end. Thank goodness for consumer protection laws. I ended up getting a refund from the vendor I purchased the camera from and I have been a canon shooter ever since

🤔 I don't necessarily know how much I believe this? I've talked to Sony reps before, and even they agree that Canon customer service is better. Maybe this was specific to call center stuff and not repair wise? It's sad to hear this story, and I don't wanna discredit this story, but it seems really odd :/
@AnthonyRodriguezz11 ай бұрын
I mean… I have zero reason to trash a company and make up stories about their poor customer service. I don’t shoot with canon anymore and it would mean nothing to me if they were to reach out now and try to rectify the situation. This was a canon issue as a company. If you scroll through the comments you will discover many others that are coming out the woodworks saying they have experienced the same issues. This also isn’t my first time having these kind of issues with Canon… this was just the last straw and definitely the worst
@thomasfrommars94611 ай бұрын
@@AnthonyRodriguezz it just seems really odd for a company so large so go through and do this and to talk to so many people up the ladder ESPECIALLY since you have written proof it should have been free and documenting the entire issue. this can cause huge back lash and technically is so many people are coming forward it could lead to a lawsuit case about unjust repairs from a manufacturer. Since you no longer have canon it really isnt your problem or anything and as you said not much they can do to make it right on your end now but I just cant help but feel as if they are better than this? IDK i could be very wrong they are a larger rather greedy company overall so it doesnt fully surprise me something like this could have happened but I'd expect a better out come

never had an issue that turned into another issue always doing nothing less than the best, the price tag takes in consideration these things and it's the case for all manufacturers so it's not fair for any manufacturer to do what canon in your example did, I mean they got paid for it upfront why do you like that? it's so stupid...always pick the brand who will be there after you buy a lesson I learned from working as a salesman in electronics 😂😂@@AnthonyRodriguezz

Honestly Canon is quite anti-consumer. I have used Canon P&S for a long time they were fine. But my son's T2i, man, what plastic garbage that is, the skin fell off after 1 month of usage. Then the RF cameras are variously crippled. The R50, great entry level camera, no log profile. The mount closing should just seal the deal for most people. I don't understand why people say Canon has better build quality than Sony. My experience is exactly the opposite, Canon buid quality is trash in my opinion. The people say C70 screen is even loose. Sony is worse than Nikon for sure, but no, Canon build quality is the worst. The R6 body is worse than my zv-e10, another plastic garbage.
