Canon General / Re: IS canon 650D going to be discontinued?

By the way it is cheaper to buy 650D (or any other camera/lens) online from America than to  buy it in the middle east ... in fact it costs less to buy it and get it shipped to the Middle East than to buy it in USA ... coz you pay taxes in USA (especially in NYC) but when you ship it out of the country, there are no taxes.

+1 about the cost being less in the US but I think the warranties do not apply in countries other than US/Canada

warranties is not a must when buying high end device as 5dm3, its a small % of defects appeared.

Am sure of what he said. He even said for some reason that he can't disclose it will not be made again.
He was indicating that it have problems but he can't tell me.

Did he also offer to sell you a large bridge in New York, or perhaps some nice local rainforest land in Dubai?   

Oh will. This seems very welcoming post and helpful. Thanks at least for passing by and posting.

 

My point is that there are some salespeople who will say anything to make a sale, and that includes outright lies.  As pointed out above, the 600D is older than the 650D, so simple logic would indicate the 650D will remain after the 600D is discontinued. 

Regardless, Canon Service will continue to support both the 600D and 650D for a long time - they still service the original Digital Rebel (300D), as far as I know.

So, it seems the salesperson was feeding you a line to get you to buy the 600D instead of the 650D (possibly because the profit margin is now higher on the older camera - I do know that in the USA, Canon decreased wholesale margins late last year).  Personally, I would not return to that dealer.

Iknow , i had an issues when i placed pre order for 5D3, came later to find they got them and sold them, with 700$ extra on it price tag, so i bought it from amazon.

i will never buy or ask them again. they so useless.

you seem to have a typo in your post.

Your salesman recommended a 600d (t3i) over a 550d. (t2i).

didn't get you with typo thing, sry my english is not perfect.
