Used digital cameras to benefit Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada and RMJQ

BURNABY, July 24 /CNW/ - Since digital cameras entered the Canadian market, they have made a tremendous impact in our lives by capturing life's milestones, fun times and precious moments. For those looking to improve the technology of their current digital camera, now is the time to visit their local Future Shop store and make the upgrade while feeling good about supporting the community. Starting July 24 to August 6, Canadians have the opportunity to trade-in their used, working-condition digital cameras for savings on brand new models. All qualifying cameras traded-in will be donated to local branches of Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada and RMJQ in Quebec, and passed on to future shutterbugs.

The following savings will be applied for new, participating digital camera models made by participating vendors, Canon, Casio, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic and Samsung:

• $30 off any camera priced between $200 and $299
• $50 off any camera priced between $300 and $699.99
