Hello Everyone,

I just recently saw this site e shop canon. I am just amazed by how expensive items are and faily limited. Even with the dollar conversions its still cheaper to buy from overseas eg. here in australia. With the 50D being only the latest offering at this site,i am quite surprised. The 7D is already available. I am very disapponted with this canon site.

Anyway interms of straps for cameras leowepro has great offerings especially the voyager range and cheaper too.

Make sure you look at other sites in the USA too.

Anyway happy shooting.

I spend a lot of my time in the Philippines but am still suprised how they always find a way to do things backward from everywhere else . Online buying is CHEAPER everywhere else but the Philippines . After all there is the reduced expense of not having to have an actual store in an expense retail Mall and a lot of sales staff plus electric and other bills . Convenience charge should be changed to inconvience charge in my opinion . I figure if i want to buy a couple of nice cannon cameras I can fly to Hong Kong or Macu , pay for the flight and a hotel for the night and fly back the next day and still come out cheaper than buying from Cannon online here . Common , I mean 6% convience charge , lol . No C.O.D. ? How is it possible for a company like Cannon to get it so wrong ?
In all honesty I don’t believe they did . I think it HAS to be the local Cannon distributer . How do you say rip off in Tagalog ?

it’s true electronic items like CANON cameras are overprice here at home. i try to scan in the internet and comparing the prices and when you convert it to the local currency WOW! very expensive by $200 and no bundle products at all for you to get a bargain.

Dear Ms. Jill
I wish canon phils will make good their promise to deliver the EOS Crumpler Straps to the homes of buyers of canon cameras. Will they still honor the promise even if the item is as you said “rare here in the phils”?

Hi Yuga! Thanks also for the feedback! You’re right, the term could be misleading. Will do something about that immediately. By the way, thanks for gracing our event at A. Venue the other day. Hope to see you again soon in future Canon events!

Thanks for the clarification Jill. It should have been noted in the checkout page that it’s CC processing bill instead of convenience charge. IMO, people would accept it more that way.

By the way, the Canon Online Store accepts Visa and Mastercard.

All the Canon products purchased have a one-year warranty.

Hi, I work for Canon Philippines, thanks for the valuable feedback, and would just like to clarify that the “Convenience Charge” is actually the charge that payment partner charges for processing the online payment. It is actually 6% of the price of the item.

The EOS Crumpler Strap’s retail price is actually Php1,500 when you purchase it at the Canon Head Office, hence as a special introductory offer on the online store, it will be priced the same if you buy it online inclusive of the delivery fee and “convenience fee” (Php1,497). So it’s actually more convenient to purchase it on the online store.

By the way, the SRP of the Crumpler strap at Crumpler outlets is also Php1,500 and the stocks are quite rare here in the Phils.

Cheers!

Don’t they have any affiliate links.. Maybe it is time for us to earn from those units.

What are the payment forms acceptable?
a. Do they accept these…
1. Paypal
2. Western Union
3. Credit Cards (specially Debit cards)

b. How about returning of defective products? Is there additional fee?

Yuga is that a fix charge or something like a percentage of the item you purchased?

Damn… That is one of the reason I Don’t buy canon stuffs here in the philippines…
