The Canon Store had a big refurbished restock on Wednesday, with popular bodies like the EOS R5 Mark II, R7, and R50 back in stock along with many popular of RF lenses. We’ve seen big restocks before previous sales, so its worth paying attention in the coming days. Over the next two weeks, Canon is expected to roll out discounts in waves, with different cameras and lenses getting their turn. If you’re shopping for something specific, start watching now. See what came back in stock on Wednesday.

Know your buy price

Pick the exact body, kit, or lens you want and any items you’d be happy with. Check its recent price history and compare it its retail new price today. If an early deal hits your target, you’ll be ready to go. Refurbished gear from the Canon Store comes with a one-year Canon USA limited warranty. Browse our refurbished stock tracker.

Check shortly after midnight Eastern

The first half hour after midnight ET is worth watching. Canon often starts deals after midnight, and it can take 15–30 minutes for the new prices to show up. If your item still shows the old price at 12:00, keep the exact product page open and check again over the next half hour.

Past launches of Canon’s main Black Friday refurb sale have ranged from as early as a week before Thanksgiving to as late as Cyber Monday. This year’s start is still up in the air, and individual deals could arrive in waves before the main sale. Read our Canon refurbished sale FAQ.
