Customer Review: Bad luck or bad manufacturing?
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the Canon 50D in December. It was to replace my Canon 20D which was plagued with problems from the onset. The vast majority of the problems seemed to be electrical. I sent it back repeatedly, but Canon never fully fixed the problem. I'd get it back, load it up and within a shot or two...I'd be right back in ERROR message mode.
My husband and I decided to upgrade to the Canon 50D for Christmas. It was a rather harsh and difficult winter so I only got to use it on three occassions. I am hypervigilant in my care of these cameras. I don't leave them loaded with batteries or CF cards. I do pack them securely in the camera bag at all times.
Last week, on my fourth occasion to power up the 50D, I was somewhat surprised to see the battery went dead after two shots. I replaced the battery with another. That appeared to be dead too. I replaced the CF card and the battery, and the camera wouldn't power up. I tried five Canon batteries (not knock-offs)and they were all dead. The 50D didn't show an error message, it showed nothing. I removed everything, including the internal battery and "rebooted" the camera. I put a fully charged battery in and the camera powered up. I shut it down, put in a CF card, the camera wouldn't turn on. I cannot believe this. I went on line to blogs and posts regarding camera's and found another individual who experienced the same exact problem. I wrote to Canon and, as has been the case in the past, they tell me "they have no knowledge of such problems in their products." (This was the same response to the 20D problems for which I found several blogs and postings which described multiple Canon users having the same problem.
Once again I will be packing up a high priced camera and sending it in to Canon repair (conveniently located in Jamesburg New Jersey...despite the fact that their headquarters is here in Lake Success on Long Island.
I am astonished that I could possibly buy TWO LEMONS from Canon?
Truthfully, my brother has the comparable Nikon and he has had no such problems. Moreover, my employer has purchased a total of 350 Nikon's and they haven't had a "lemon ratio" as I have had with Canon.
When it works its a great camera, but when it doesn't...it's a nightmare that seems to be beyond Canon's ability to repair. Be cautious. It's a lot of money to chance. I feel like an idiot for giving Canon the second chance.
