Hot: BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EOS 70D for $849.99. The listing subtitle says “Refurbished”, but the part number (8469B002), catalog number (CNEOS70D), and listing description all say “brand new”. Our guess is this is similar to the deal where they listed 6D + 24-105mm as “refurbished” but ended up shipping brand new kits to everyone!
UPDATE: It looks like the listing is updated to note “refurbished”, but there are still discrepancies with the part number and catalog number…
Expect refurbished, and you will be pleased if you receive a brand new body. If brand new, this is the absolute lowest price we’ve seen it ever! (They’re an authorized dealer.)
We also expect today is the day to purchase this as the current $200 instant rebate is subject to change at the end of the day. This is a fantastic deal, it’s $150 lower than other authorized dealers and $90 lower than our street price!

Did you run out of 70d photo’s for the post?
Ooops. My bad. 🙁 Yes, the photo is for the wrong camera.
Hmm. Can’t seem to edit it now without deleting the post entirely. Sorry about that.
How can you tell if the product you receive is refurbished vs. brand new?
Brand new bodies come in full retail packaging. Refurbished bodies do not (white or brown box).
Refurbished bodies will also have a pinprick on the serial number plate, and refurbished lenses have a red paint dot on the flange of the lens mount.
Finally reach my budget price for a maybe new 70D.
Fedex just delivered mine, it is brand new!
Ditto for me — brand new! Thanks, CanonPriceWatch!
Excellent!
I purchased one of these based on the story here on CPW… Arrived today. Brand new in box that did not appear to ever have been opened. USA/Canada warranty card. Paid $1.79 for shutter count online… Shutter count = 0. Thank you CPW!
Fantastic. Glad we didn’t disappoint with our call of brand new. 🙂
