*If you use Canon products you'll definitely want to read this post*
Canon for me, lead the way. Apart from being ahead of the game with technological advances compared to their competitors they also like to look after their customers.
One great example of this is their CPN: Canon Professional Network website, this site has a wealth of information on new and existing Canon products, interviews with photographers, opportunities to promote your work and reports from current festivals such as their extensive coverage from the Visa pour l'image annual photojournalism festival held in Perpignan earlier this month.
Apart from all this, and most importantly, you can also join their Canon Professional Services programme which entitles you to prioritised repairs to your equipment at any Canon pro centre anywhere across Europe with a guaranteed turnaround time and free replacement equipment loan in the interim. At large events, such as the current London fashion week, Canon will have a pro centre on site so if your lens gets smashed or your SLR develops a fatal fault you can simply visit the centre to get your equipment mended or a replacement loaned and carry on shooting.
Having this to call upon is a fantastic service and in many respects priceless, which brings me on to the cost of this service: nothing - it's absolutely free. All you need to do is have at least 2 qualifying bodies and 3 qualifying lenses to become a member of the programme.
As a member you also get sent a great quarterly magazine which is full of showcases of photographers work and information on the latest Canon developments. A direct link to apply to join the Canon Professional Services can be seen here and the Canon Professional Network site can be viewed by anyone, even Nikon users...
