I know I’ve been doing a bad job lately with posting. I’d like to say I’ve just been busy, but really, I’ve just been lazy about updating posts.
On to a post… my beloved Canon S400 has been raised from the dead. Jill got this for me for my birthday back in 2003. Being a huge geek it was a shock that I didn’t already have a digital camera, and it quickly became a best friend, always with me. It has had it problems over the years (they are bad with sand), but the warranty was always there to fix them. Late last summer, around it’s three year anniversary, it started to have weird memory card errors and eventually it succumbed to an E51 message. Lucky for me, about a month ago I stumbled across a recall notice on Canon’s website.
Here’s the annoying part, Canon knows I have an S400, I’ve had it serviced by them twice and provided them with phone and email contact info. They have NO reason not to contact me and tell me about this recall. This is a perfect example of where they could have just emailed me to let me know about this recall.
Since getting my canon I bought one for Jill because I liked it so much. I can’t say we are die-hard canon fans, but I would look to them first if I need another one. Something like this definitely rocks my faith a little. Had they notified me, it would have definitely solidified them as a great company in my book.
Of course the other downside is that they failed to return my CF card with my camera. They’re not too expensive, but it’s still a hassel and makes this whole experience that much more annoying.
*sigh*
