When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works. |
Canon Rumors and Foto Erhardt have teamed up, and Foto Erhardt is now our exclusive retail partner for the European Union. The company has been around in some form since 1903, when it was founded Gotthilf Erhardt.
We have worked with other retailers in the EU and always had great experiences with them. It was hard to make this decision, as I have met a lot of great people from other companies.
Foto Erhardt has a full protection for your gear that covers a wide range of events even while travelling. This looks like very good coverage if you don't have a separate gear policy with an insurance company.
Full Protection Coverage
- Operating errors, clumsiness or malicious intent of third parties, unforeseeable events
- Damage caused by falls, impacts and liquids that are not covered by the warranty for material or manufacturing defects
- Defects in design, material or workmanship occurring in the 3rd year after purchase
- Short-circuit, overcurrent or overvoltage
- Fire, lightning strike, explosion
- Burglary, robbery, vandalism, malicious intent
- Storm, hail, frost
- Theft from a motor vehicle (provided the vehicle is locked and the device is not visible from the outside)
They have other services such as film development, data recovery, rentals in Munich, sensor cleaning and more.”
This is a cooperation with the Allianz.

How does this change things?
I have vetted Foto Erhardt to the best my abilities and believe they are going to be a great place to buy your gear if you are in the EU.
There are going to be doing special promotions and sponsorships for activities on Canon Rumors, you'll be seeing them more often on the site.
Retail partnership exclusivity tends to benefit our readership when making purchasing decisions.
With exclusive partnerships in the past, I have done customer service for our readership when there have been some issues come about. We will be adding a section to the forum in the near future dedicated to the EU.



Maybe they'll give us some nice "welcome prices" for the coming R6III and (especially, since there's good probability I'm buying it) 45 f1.2 STM? 🥰
