eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D for $1349 (Import) GetItDigital


Today’s eBay Daily deal is from Get It Digital via eBay, they have the Canon EOS 6D for $1349.99. This ties for the lowest price ever seen. This is an import model, but it is physically identical and has WiFi and GPS.

Get It Digital via eBay is a reputable unauthorized dealer, they have 99.3% feedback on high-value Canon items including a good track record on the EOS 6D. One small warning though, they are adamant about charging a 5% restock fee on returns (unless defective), so please be sure before purchasing.

If you would prefer an authorized dealer with a great 30-day return policy and a full 1-year Canon USA Warranty, we have a street price of $1439 after the $200 Canon mail-in rebate.



7D Mark II with 18-135 STM and CamRanger for $2149, Adorama


Another 7D Mark II bundle deal: Adorama is including with the purchase of the EOS 7D Mark II with 18-135mm IS STM Kit a free CamRanger Wireless Transmitter, all for $2149.00.

The CamRanger Wireless Transmitter is extremely well reviewed — in addition to providing sorely missed WiFi features, it is a powerful remote camera control device that lets you control your camera remotely with a smart phone or tablet. It has a built in camera and shutter control, remote live view, and intervalometer, and regularly goes for $299.99 just by itself!



Sigma Art Lenses Now Added to Street Price Program


We’ve now added two popular Sigma Art lenses to our popular street price program, from an authorized Sigma dealer with full Sigma USA warranty.

Street prices on the other two popular lenses, the Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM and the Sigma Art 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM will be coming at a future date.

UPDATE: Yes, Nikon mounts can be done at the same price!



EOS 1D-X for $4799 (Import) eBay, or $5299 AR Street Price


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from BigValueInc via eBay, they have the Canon EOS-1D X for $4799.99. This ties for the lowest price we’ve seen on a brand new (import) EOS 1D-X.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 99.3% feedback score on high-value Canon items. This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead.

If you prefer instead a Canon USA model with guaranteed 1-year Canon USA warranty, please consider our street price of $5299 AR from an authorized dealer.

Popular Street Prices: 70-200 II $1899, 24-70 II $1749, 16-35 f/4 $1049


The Canon 20%-off refurbished sale ended with no restock of highly-desired lenses — those lenses already sell out quickly at full refurbished price, so we’re not surprised that Canon did not restock them during the sale.

If you are disappointed, luckily, we still have some great street prices available, brand new from authorized Canon dealers with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty, no tax to most states:

The street price on the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is especially popular as this is the first time the lens has gone on rebate. Again, we’re not expecting to see the Canon Minimum Advertised Price policy broken this year, so we don’t expect to see lower prices publicly shown on retailer’s websites.

We also continue to have two fantastic and popular body deals, and some grip specials, please inquire if interested.



eBay Daily Deal: 5D Mark III + 24-105L for $2949 (Import) BigValueInc


This eBay Daily Deal is back. BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS Kit for only $2949.99. This is within $50 of the lowest price we’ve ever seen on a brand new (import) 5D Mark III + 24-105mm. It’s also $350 less than our authorized dealer street price.

If you split the kit and sell the 24-105mm for $600, it is like getting a 5D Mark III for only $2349 — an incredible price.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 99.3% feedback score on high-value Canon items, including a solid feedback record on the previous 5D Mark III + 24-105mm sale.

This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead. After one year, your kit becomes the same as every other Canon USA warranty kit: if you need service you will need to pay Canon for it (and Canon will gladly service an grey/import model if you pay for service). Compare with our street price of $3299 AR from an authorized dealer. Transactions on eBay have been generally safe as you can rely on eBay Protection, PayPal Protection, and credit card protection.
