Hey I got an a80 about a week ago. Ive been using it fine.

Last night I was lying on the ground taking pics and the camera swing outta my hand and tapped the ground about an incch of the ground.

I got the error E18 which is pressure on the lense error.

How easy is it to return to Best Buy. This was obviously some sort of malfunction since it BARLEY TOUCHED THE GROUND. hehe

Will i be able to get a new one from BB or have to go through canon?:(
 
are there any visible signs of damage on the camera like scratches where the camera got hit?

if not, take it back to BB for another one. tell them that the camera isnt working right and you want it exchanged. there's no need in telling them anymore.
 
Wouldn't it be easier to call the store or go to bestbuy.com or just look on the back of your receipt then post this to [H]? Check your camera manual for error messages. Probably just has to be reset.
 
I did all this.... Its not a fixible problem.

I was jus wondering how easily you can make returns and if they ask abunch of questions

DONT GET TESTY!!!!!!
:D
 
Its not a problem as long as your just doing and exchange and it hasn't been more than 14 days.

I agree. Do what he said. If they ask if you dropped it, tell them no, it said that when you turned it on to take pictures.

its gotta be a virus in the a sector of your backup multigenerator duplex homestatsis mechanism which controls the luminescence of the lens
 
Hey, I sound like I'm 15. I broke my camera by doing something stupid. I have poor grammar. I want to lie and make the good folks at Best Buy give me a new camera. I'm going to lie, cheat and steal.

I need to get advice on how to lie to Best Buy from my peers. Mostly because I'm not confident enough in myself.

First off, you messed up... ...deal with that issue.

Warranties are for problems with cameras. The store is not responsible for your lack of hand strength.

Would I take my $3,000 Hasselblad back to the camera store if I dropped in in my studio? No, it's called tough luck, learn it now.
 
My 4 month old A80 fell out of the back of the baby stroller in Banff this summer and went for a nice tumble accross the parking lot. I sulked for a couple days and ended up buying a Sony DSC-W1 (which I'm enjoying) but decided I'd better send the Canon out to see if it's feasible to repair. They called me about a week later and told me repairs would be $92 (Canadian). You can probably safely trust the Canon service guys, I couldn't have imagined better service.
 
damn PD give him a break, you don't have to be such an ass because society somewhere along the way bitchslapped the silver spoon out of your mouth.

I can see where he is coming from...maybe he can't afford to just go buy a new one or something like that, in the end it's the exact same outcome, the camera gets covered by warranty, he gets a new(fixed) one and bestbuy ends up with one for sale. The only difference is his way he doesn't have to wait for the month of shipping and handling that Canon will make him go through.

I say you go to BestBuy, tell them when you pulled it out it wouldn't work, if they ask how that could have happened just tell them there service rep dropped it on the counter when you bought it. If they ask why it took you a week to return it say you work across town during the week. There is nothing wrong with returning something if you are unsatisfied...If I dropped an expensive camera 1 inch from the ground and it wouldn't work anymore than I would be pissed too.

You might want to goole the error first to see if there is some way that you can fix it to save everyone time.

Now purdue...pull the stick out of your ass and hit yourself with it for being a "goodie goodie I would never do something like that" little bitch.
