I am sure many of you in the USA already have an account with Canon USA and are aware of the benefits of registering your Canon equipment with them. However, I recently helped a fried to join and register his cameras, lenses, printer, and scanner. Once he registered his cameras, he immediately received emails listing the latest firmware updates for several of his DSLRs that he didn't know were out yet! Having this instant notification of firmware and other technical updates, makes having to search the web every so often totally unnecessary! Additionally, you can select other services, such as receiving their Newsletter, product announcements, etc. also, you get 10 GB of free image storage on their Image Gateway program. You also receive discounts through the Canon Store if you take the time to answer all the questionairs for your products.
