Super Hot: EOS 6D + 24-105mm for $1899 Adorama via eBay


Super Hot: Adorama via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit for $1899.99.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen from an authorized dealer for this combo, and will certainly sell out within the hour. This is part of eBay’s Super Deal Frenzy going on this week.

They had this yesterday for about 10 minutes before it disappeared, causing us to speculate that yesterday’s listing was jumping the gun. Is this the real deal?

Here’s a screenshot of the price in-cart:

Last Week for Rebates; Canon Price Change Coming in April

A reminder that this is the last week for Canon’s mail-in rebate: of up to $200 off twenty different L-lenses. Purchases must be dated March 29th or before to be eligible for the rebate.

We have also heard that a “price adjustment” (and not the good kind) will happen a few days after the rebate period ends. At this time we recommend purchases during the current rebate or refurb sale as it may be the lowest prices that we’ll see for a while. We’ll provide more details as we hear…

We list the lenses, the rebate amount, and after-rebate prices below. Some of the lenses (in bold) are great deals as the price is close to the very low prices that we saw last year! There have been a few double-dips (even a triple-dip) but no major movements on prices during this month.

Here’s a link to the mail-in rebate form. Just like previous rebates, the rebate is given in the form of an AMEX gift card, which can be refunded to a check on demand. Recent Canon mail-in rebates have been highly reliable.
