I Love Canon!

Below is a picture of what I looked like when my hella old, 2.0 mega pixel Canon S200 PowerShot suddenly stopped working before the holidays (leading to a painful lack of joyous family pictures):

Then I find out that my camera has been recalled due to a faulty chip or some such nonsense. I send the camera to Canon expecting my old camera (or a similar low pixel substitute) back in a month or two.

But no, dear readers, within a week, I get a letter that says this:

"Due to the current lack of essential components at our repair facility, and in order to expedite your repair, we have exchanged your original equipment with a new or factory reconditioned replacement model of equal or greater value."

Also enclosed is a refurbished 10.0 mega pixel Canon PowerShot SD900 Digital Elph. Did I mention TEN point O mega pixel?

I realize that I got the old camera as a present 4 years ago and this new camera probably cost about the same.

But because Canon exceeded my expectations, and gave me a MUCH better camera at absolutely no cost to me,
A. I will tell (IM, tweet, etc.) anyone who will listen how awesome Canon is
B. I will most definitely buy Canon accessories
C. I will blog about it
D. I will probably buy a Canon video camera when the time comes
E. I will probably tell myless technically savvy friends and family about his good experience with Canon
F. I will probably be a Canon customer for life.

Canon transformed me into this:
