Re: Canon Cinema EOS Camera & Lens Loyalty Discounts, Instant Rebates, & 0% Lease Off
I just worked with Terry to get a lease through Canon. I did it because he contributes to this forum. He got the lease through quickly,and professionally. I had my C100 in hand about a week after initiating the process. Thoroughly recommend his company.

Warning there are hidden charges with Canon C300 lease to buy! I have paid 12 months which included state sales tax all good to here. Pay off number has added what Canon calls property/country tax 10% of the payoff figure.
I am overseas till Monday an will contact my attorney also will post quotes from Canon. Be aware since this is not mentioned nor could my attorney find it in the agreement. |
Not very happy with Canon adding this charge. Has anyone else had this problem with unknown charges being added for no reason?
My bad not knowing this ahead of time. I have to pay an extra $806.30 when I pay off the camera this week. Too bad this is not more upfront in the payoff. It is a property tax according to your state in the US. You do not get a receipt or know where it goes but they can add it in. Lesson learned here and just want others to know this is part of the deal. Moving forward |
All Cinema EOS Rebates and 0% Promos Expire January 4
Canon Instant Rebates and 0% Promotions are scheduled to expire on January 4, 2014.
The sweet spot seems to be buying a camera body with a set of Cinema Primes and getting an $8000 package discount on the 0% lease while tacking on an extra EF lens to get the $550-$800 mail in rebate. Canon C300 + 5 Cinema Prime Lens Package: C300 EF, CN-E14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, & 135mm Lenses = $8000 Discount = $1304 per Month on 0% Lease Apply Online for a 0% Canon Lease Let us know if you have any questions about how to maximize the rebates.

Thierry,
They do it and won't tell you what tax it is. They also would not send me a receipt for the extra tax when I paid off my camera. Canon lost my business with this move after I sold the C300. |

Also, I'm going to share some information provided to me by email from Terry Nixon, the originator of this thread, from our sponsor Texas Media Systems. I believe Terry intended for me to post this publicly:

Hi Chris,
You can kill this thread since I know Canon is a big supporter of this site. Not trying to make trouble here. My experience has been: Yes there is a mention in the agreement. But it does not say what the tax is? It is not a sales tax as Canon says? Canon would not give us a receipt of this tax for my taxes? And the rate is not my sales tax rate? All very strange and I would prefer if they were up front. Did I pay the tax? Yes, I had to, I sold the camera and needed to clear the loan. I have now done the lease to purchase with Sony for the F55. So I got the rate in advance but Sony says as Canon did there could be other charges. My whole point is buyer be ware, the big companies are not giving you 0% only, there are hidden fees and when they won't tell you the fee up front it is not right. |

Thanks Paul,
I'm not willing to kill this thread (or edit it for that matter) because I believe that it will be helpful to those folks who are considering the lease program, in that they will be aware of the associated taxes and fees, etc. I've never been a fan of the "zero percent down" marketing strategy, whether it's for a camera or a car or a new set of living room furniture. There's always a catch or some associated cost or something. There has to be, since the capitalism model cannot thrive without profit. I'm fine with that, but don't call it free, because free has no value. Make it a good deal, and then call it a good deal. I believe the equipment lease programs offered by the majors can be a very good deal for someone who doesn't have the immediate cash to buy outright. Even with the taxes, fees, charges, etc., a lease program makes perfect sense for a particular market segment. We're fortunate to have site sponsors like Terry and Texas Media Systems who are in a position to put lease offers in front of our readers. A lease can be an effective solution for jump-starting a new video production business, or extending the reach an existing one. For those folks who are considering a leasing option, being aware and informed up front about what's exactly involved is always the best way to go. |
