Canon Loyalty Program 2011/02/22
I have owned several Canon digital cameras in the point-and-shoot through prosumer range. Something Canon has offered for a long time is the Canon Loyalty Program. This allows one to obtain a refurbished Canon digital camera at a discounted price when one trades in a Canon digital camera. Unfortunately, I’ve never had much luck finding current offerings via Canon’s website. So a little while ago, I asked on the phone what refurbished cameras are currently available and at what price. I will provide the list in a table. I wanted to collect all the ancillary information, but my life is still pretty hectic now, so I’ll put up what I have and add to it as I get time (if I get time).
| Camera model | Price | Remarks |
| SD1200 | $87 | CanonDirect price = $125.99, 10.0 MP, Image stabilization, 35-105mm (35mm equiv.), CHDK ready |
| SX120 | $120 | 10.0 MP, 36-360mm (35mm equiv.), |
| G11 | $260 | Amazon price: $548.99, CHDK beta only |
| XS | $320 | w/18-55mm lens |
| 7D | $1088 | |
| T1i | $480 | w/18-55mm lens |
| T2i | w/18-55mm lens | |
| 50D | $665.99 | w/28-85mm lens (not positive about the end of the zoom range) |
To take advantage of the program, call Canon at 866-443-8002.
Thank you so much!
I called and ordered a T2i today. Today’s price was $511 for the kit.
The lens with the 50D is the 28-135, same price.
(I probably should have went for the 50D, but as this is my first DSLR, the fact that I have small hands, and thinking having the video would be nice…. went for the t2i. Someday I will upgrade. With that lens though…. oh well, I am happy. ) :)
