B&H DealZone: 13.3″ Retina Macbook Pro with 2.8 GHz i7 for $1449

13.3" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013) Computer

It’s nice to see great computer deals via B&H’s DealZone: they have the Apple 13.3″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display for $1449.00, which is about $500 off! Today only. Free overnight!

This is 13.3″ Retina Display MacBook Pro with a 2.8 GHz Dual-Core i7, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB of flash storage. It’s a Late-2013 MacBook (but note the Late-2013 and Mid-2014 MacBooks are effectively identical). It really is $500 less than the comparable Mid-2014 model. All in all, a great deal on a nice laptop (although my tiny complaint with this setup would be the 8 GB RAM, which is just marginally sufficient for photo-related tasks.)

Refurb Sale on Lenses is Over! Street Prices on Lenses Still Available

Posted December 21, 2014 at 11:37 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 5 comments.

The Canon direct store refurbished sale (15%-off) is now over, without any restock. In the end, less than 20 each of the desirable lenses were sold during the sale. As there are thousands of people waiting for a restock on each of those items, it’s no wonder these sales are nicknamed “lens lotteries”.

If you’re still looking for a lens before Christmas, we still have great street prices available — these are brand new from authorized dealers, should ship Monday, and no tax charged to most states. The mail-in rebate ends on January 3rd; historically the December rebate has been the best rebate of the year. We don’t have any info on a possible extension, but our one data point is last year’s December rebate was not renewed in January.

$150 Rebate on EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: Street price of $1849 AR
$150 Rebate on EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1699 AR
$100 Rebate on EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM: Street price of $1759 AR
