MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, is excited to announce that the company will launch a
special pricing promotion for new and existing Canon Professional
Service (CPS) members at the Imaging USA EXPO 2018 hosted by Professional
Photographers of America (PPA). This exclusive promotion, offers 20
percent off new, renewed or upgraded CPS gold or platinum
memberships for active PPA members. Imaging USA EXPO 2018 will take place through
January 16th at the
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.
"CPS members are among the most loyal and dedicated customers of
Canon. Their passion, experience and knowledge are invaluable
assets to the photo and video imaging community," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "Offering this
special promotion to both new and existing CPS members is an
exciting initiative for us. We want these photographers to continue
to grow and succeed with Canon's world-class service and support
right alongside them."
Beginning at Imaging USA and
effective throughout 2018, active PPA members will have the
opportunity to renew or upgrade their current CPS membership, while
non-CPS members can open a new membership – both at a 20 percent
discount off current prices. Attendees who sign up for a CPS
membership at the show will also qualify for a free gift. PPA
members who do not sign up at Imaging USA can call 1-844-58-CANON to also receive
the 20 percent exclusive offer.
"PPA is always looking to provide our members with savings on
their essential needs," says Kristen
Hartman, PPA's Director of Member Value & Experience.
"We are excited that Canon is offering this exclusive discount to
our members and we look forward to working with Canon in the
future."

Gold, Platinum, Enterprise and Cinema CPS members can have their
Canon equipment (up-to-two current Professional DSLR bodies or
