Get It Digital via eBay has two copies of the hard-to-find Canon EOS 5Ds R for $3799.99. This is $100 less than the MAP price of $3899 for this body. As Get It Digital is not an authorized dealer, this is likely an import model (physically identical to the USA model but without a guaranteed 1-year Canon USA warranty.)

Our street price dealer also still has a few copies of the Canon EOS 5Ds R, brand new with 1-year Canon USA warranty, for an amazingly low price that is too low for us to publish — please inquire via the street price form for more details.

We now have a limited quantity of the EOS 5Ds R in-stock via our street price program, from an authorized dealer with a 1-year Canon USA Warranty and free shipping. If you are interested, please fill out the EOS 5Ds R street price form for more details.

This body has been hard to find since its introduction two weeks ago, and it is still out-of-stock at many retailers. The regular price for this body is $3899. Again, quantities are extremely limited. The camera is available to ship on Monday (as it is after shipping cutoff today.)


EOS 5Ds Street Price from Authorized Canon USA Dealer

We now have a street price on the EOS 5Ds from a Canon USA authorized dealer, including a 1-year Canon USA warranty. If you are interested, please fill out the EOS 5Ds street price form for more details.

We don’t have a street price on the EOS 5Ds R at this time, as it is still out-of-stock at many retailers. It appears as though Canon has mispredicted the demand between these two cameras. While the EOS 5Ds R is out-of-stock, a nice supply of the less expensive EOS 5Ds is available, thus the street price.

Our street price also stacks with the double mail-in-rebate launch promotion for the new cameras.

Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 7D Mark II for $1199.99. This ties for the lowest price we’ve seen yet.

Get It Digital via eBay is a reliable unauthorized dealer, this is likely import or grey market. A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, but has been historically honored by Canon USA at their discretion.

Get It Digital has excellent eBay feedback — we calculate 99%+ positive feedback on high-value Canon items. The only complaint we’ve heard recently is an upsell call, we recommend declining all upgrades.

Compare with our street price from an authorized dealer of $1349. Our street price dealer has a great 30-day return policy in case of any auto-focus issues with the body.

This hot deal is back: Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $1999.99. This is today’s eBay daily deal.

This is likely grey market / import, as Get It Digital via eBay is not an authorized dealer. As a result, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (the store provides a warranty instead). Historically Canon USA has provided warranty service on grey market bodies anyway — but this is at the discretion of Canon USA, and can change at any time.

This retailer has been a reliable eBay seller based on eBay feedback and reader feedback. They’ve sold over 2700 bodies — most were at this price. We will caution that they have attempted up-sell calls (asking you to upgrade to a USA model for an extra fee). We recommend you stay firm and insist that they process your order at the $1999 price, there are no physical differences between import models and USA models, even though they may attempt to convince you otherwise.

For more details on grey market vs. USA model, you can read our FAQ on the topic here.

If you’d feel more comfortable with an authorized dealer and a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, check out our street price of $2199 from an authorized Canon USA dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and great customer service.
