Canon’s Cure for the Clumsy: 13 Months of Free Repair on Select Gear

If you were thinking about pulling the trigger on some new Canon gear in the next few weeks, the company is sweetening the pot with 13-months worth of free CarePAK Plus Protection.

The warranty, which kicks in from the moment of purchase, covers repairs by Canon’s factory-trained techs. Cameras and lenses submitted through CarePAK Plus receive priority service, free return shipping and support direct from Canon.

The CarePAK promotion runs through July 30, 2016. It comes free with any of the following gear:

EOS 6D

EOS 7D Mark II

EOS 5D Mark III

EOS 5Ds

EOS 5Ds-R

EOS 1D X

EF 17–40mm f/4L USM

EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

EF 50mm f/1.2L USM

EF 16–35mm f/2.8L II USM

EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM

EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM

EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS II USM

In addition, any lens included within a Kit with an eligible body will be covered. When the 13-month promotional period ends, you can purchase additional coverage or hope misfortune doesn’t strike.
