Really Canon?

My Canon eos 90D camera started smoking when I took a photo of my little one. I mailed it out weeks ago to be looked at.
I hadn’t heard anything yet about the cost of the repair etc.
Yesterday I got a package with a camera in it.
So get this they send me a loaner camera they are letting me use but it has no battery in it and I have to return it by November 20.
How am I supposed to use it without a battery?
Now I have to make sure to get to wherever there is a FedEx location near me before the 20th. I’m guessing the closest one would be 20-30 miles away.
Photo is a picture of the loaner camera they sent me.

How weird...it is nice of them to send a loaner camera, but apparently they didn't make sure it worked before they sent it.]sad[/em]

@snowy22315 very nice of them as it is a very expensive camera. Not helpful though

Maybe you were supposed to keep the battery from the smoker?

@shaggin So, they're willing to lend you a camera but not a battery... gotta keep their costs down, y'know...

@BarbaraPrz no they knew I sent that in because I checked it off on the sheet of what was included in what I sent so it was on record. The battery needed to be examined as well to make sure it wasn’t affected by whatever the issue was causing the smoke .

I think I'd do a review on it and see what other users have to say. Businesses sure are getting weird these days.

@celticeagle that’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought to do that but it would be good to warn others who may be considering that model.

Right now I have no digital camera but I had a Pentax and it worked great for me for at least ten years if I get another it will be Pentax, Best of luck getting you camera back,

@RasmaSandra I’m not sure I have heard of that brand. I know I have never owned one anyway.

That's strange. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
