Authorized Canon dealer Samy’s Camera via Amazon has the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT for $449.00. This is the absolute cheapest price we’ve ever seen for this speedlite from an authorized dealer.
UPDATE 2: They are sold out in four hours, via their Amazon storefront. You can still place an order directly with the Samy’s store at this price and it’ll ship when available.
The regular price for this flash is $499 ($549 less a $50 instant rebate). It looks like Samy’s is doubling the instant rebate.
Last time we checked, Samy’s Camera only charges sales tax on purchases within California state. Shipping is free.
UPDATE: Half an hour after our post, Amazon now says “Only 20 left in stock.”

Thanks, I bought one. Unfortunately I get hit with the California tax, but that’s the way it is…
Killer deal!
I forget to factor in the CA state tax too and jumped on this deal while cancelling the order I placed with amazon. With the 4% rewards it’s effectively a few dollars cheaper for CA residents, but perhaps the faster shipping makes up for it for some since it’s in the same state.
