Aνακοινωση της Canon για τις ζημιες απο την προσφατη καταστροφη.

Not hearing a lot of positive things about current products and new products because of the Japanese earthquake.

The latest info I’ve received says all of Canon, Nikon and Sony are still unsure what the near future is going to bring.

Canon may be in fact delaying new product announcements. I was told every executive within Canon is being told to “prepare for the worst”. Sales reps are being told not to say anything.

I do not personally know anything about the rolling blackouts and “dead zone” expansion in Japan around Canon manufacturing facilities.

I’ve received no word whether or not Canon is looking at moving some manufacturing to different countries.

Pricing Rising

As a lot of you have probably noticed, camera equipment is getting more expensive and disappearing from shelves. There’s lots of out of stock items around various stores.

A lot of retailers are getting or close to getting MSRP for camera stuff. This is not going to change quickly.

All rebate programs that were planned have been cancelled for the most part. I’m still looking around to see if any are still a go.

Aν η εταιρεια μεταφερει μοναδες εκτος Ιαπωνιας..... ετοιμαστειτε για τρομακτικες καθυστερησεις σε παραδοσεις...
 
We at Canon extend our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the March 11 Japan earthquake, along with their families and loved ones. We pray for the safety of everyone in affected areas and hope that the region will soon complete the rebuilding and healing process.

Immediately following the earthquake, Canon Inc. launched recovery activities spanning development, production, and sales operations through a collective effort across the Canon group.

Currently, Canon USA has appropriate inventories of most service parts, and CPS repair operations are functioning normally. However, in the near future, certain camera and video service parts may become temporarily unavailable pending recovery efforts. If this occurs, it may be difficult to repair products within the standard CPS timeframes (for each member level). Additionally, loaner equipment may become unavailable as a result of increased demand.

Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience and be assured that we will continue to use our best efforts to give your repairs our highest priority according to your membership level. In the event a repair cannot be completed in a timely manner due to lack of parts, we will work as necessary with affected members on an individual basis.

We will continue to evaluate our inventory and production situation and ask for your patience and understanding during this trying time. We at Canon truly value our relationship with you and we are working hard to minimize the impact of this disaster on our customers.
 
To eχω πεί και θα το ξαναπώ.. Οσοι εχετε προγραμματισμένες αγορές σε "σοβαρά" ηλεκτρονικά & οπτικά (φωτογραφικες, φακους, LCD/Plasma, υπολογιστές, gadgets κλπ) και διαθετετε το ρευστό, ΜΗΝ ΤΙΣ ΑΝΑΒΑΛΛΕΤΕ. Ανεξαρτητα τι λέει το ταμπελάκι του καθε προιοντος (συνήθως made in china), τα core ηλεκτρονικά συστήματα τους (microprocessors, controllers, laser beams, memory) σε πολύ μεγάλο ποσοστό παράγονται στην Ιαπωνία..

Οι τιμες θα ανεβουν και θα υπάρχουν ελλειψεις σε πολλά προιόντα τουλάχιστον μεχρι και το τέλος της χρονιάς.
