I continue to be surprised by Canon’s service. After having dealt with Canon (here and here) for problems with my camcorder, I got another email from Canon today to follow up on the repair experience:

I guess the point of this entry is, not only did Canon score very high on my satisfaction for their service, even the company they hired to conduct the survey, CustomerSat, Inc, did an exceptional job.
This experience has certainly casted a shadow over my loyalty for Nikon.
