Helping to give a quick update for those who may need it as of Jan 2011:


  • Went to Canon Service Centre (Harbourfront, Keppel Bay Tower) at Level 4
  • Took a 'Repair' waiting slip
  • Waited about 20min before number was called (can be longer during peak periods)
  • Just said "I'm here for the Canon Privilege Purchase Program"
  • Counter personnel took my old film compact camera & proceeded to key in the system ie. no other questions asked nor was the camera checked to see if it was working
  • Personnel asked what camera I wanted before giving me the customer slip & advising that I will be contacted, earliest within a week - else after CNY in Feb
  • SMS sent 7 days later on 26th Jan to tell me I can collect my G12
  • G12 discounted to $674 (incl. GST) so about 20.6% off RRP via Canon website ($849)
  • Collected SD card & casing at Level 1 (Canon Digital Lab)
  • Now one happy owner! :)

Others:
- PPP only exchange Canon products (sounds duh but just in case ;) )
- PPP offered to printers & selphys too (according to the personnel who serviced me)
- PPP not offered to lenses (only)
- Discount is dependant on the model of camera you wish to get although max so far seems to be still about 20%

Hope that helps!

same suggestion here.
teh 18 will be wide enough for indoor / landscapes while the 135 will be tight enough for outings where you'll be shooting videos/pictures from a far (say you are watching a performance)
