Canon CarePak

Sony and Nikon and Sigma and Leica, take note. And Canon too—why the limited time offer? Canon seems to see it as a short-term sales tool, but I see that as a strategic blunder.

Make it a compelling differentiator of Canon DSLRs by offering it upfront at low cost. This sort of thing ought to be bundled with product purchase, at least as an attractively-priced add-on. And it ought not to be restricted to an enumerated selection of lenses—this just sows confusion and undermines the message. Surely a company like Canon can figure out if a $50 or $100 upcharge is a good business model—figure it out—the camera market is sloppy and lazy in all sorts of areas, including warranty and service ideas.

Canon 5DS R

Of course, Nikon has long had a 5-year warranty for lenses (1+4 years with registration) here in the USA, though not for camera bodies. Raise brand appeal and value, that being not just the physical product but support and service and warranty.

Sony has a long way to go to anything like this, I wonder what might happen if Sony used some good sense and made all of its full frame mirrorless cameras available for guaranteed 72 hours in-house turnaround? Pros would feel a lot more comfortable.

Heck, some automobiles cost less than some of these camera systems with a few of the nicer lenses. Who would buy a car with with a 1-year warranty? So why (at the least) do high end camera systems provide such short-term warranties?
