Deal Expired

The Tamron $100 mail-in rebate on two popular Tamron lenses was extended, it now expires on February 28th, 2015. Our great street prices are still available, brand new from an authorized Tamron US dealer with a full 6-year Tamron USA warranty, and free shipping:

These are excellent image-stabilized alternatives to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II if you don’t want to shell out $1699 AR and $1849 AR respectively for the Canon lenses.


Street Price Special: 5D Mark III $2399 AR Brand New, Authorized

by . 19 comments.

Unauthorized dealers recently lowered their price on the EOS 5D Mark III to a new lowest-ever $2297 via eBay, and authorized dealers have responded with a lowest-ever special of their own:

Authorized Canon USA dealers have a limited number of 5D Mark III for only $2399, after the $300 Canon mail-in rebate (just extended). Brand new from authorized dealers with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. This is the lowest price ever from an authorized dealer. This has a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, and is only $100 more than the unauthorized grey market deal. This price is limited to a few cameras, afterwards the street price will be returning to $2,469 AR.

We also still have a special on the 5D Mark III + BG-E11 for $2569 AR (inquire via the same 5D Mark III street price form). Also, B&H’s $2449 AR bundle deal is still live (but back-ordered).

Another great B&H DealZone deal, today only (or until sold out):

B&H Photo Video has the Drobo 5D Thunderbolt/USB 3.0 Storage Array for $469.00. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this storage array.

This is $130 off the regular price ($599) for this storage array, which features lightning-fast Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connectivity (no other storage array offers both). If you rather a network-attached storage array, check out the Drobo 5N.

We have been fans of Drobo ever since we survived three hard drive failures with all our files intact!

Canon Holiday Mail-in Rebates Extended to January 31st

by . 10 comments.

Happy New Year! The Canon Store posted what appears to be a new rebate form on their website — it shows the current rebates being extended at the same values until January 31st.

This is great news, as we now have four more weeks to take advantage of the excellent Holiday prices and street prices. You also now have until March 2nd to submit the form for the current rebate — but don’t wait until the last minute.

Please note that this is actually a rebate extension, where they’ve changed the end-date, not a brand new rebate. This means you are still subject to the one-copy per item limit during the period (November 23rd – January 31st). For example, you can get a rebate on two different lenses, but you cannot get two rebates on the same lens, or do two printer bundles.

This is also a good time to remind our readers to check on the status of your recent rebate submission. Most readers have gotten rebates approved from Thanksgiving sales already.

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II continues to be a hot item that is out-of-stock at all major stores.

A major and reputable Canon authorized dealer, Profeel via eBay has this hot item available to ship on Monday, January 5th, for $2199.00. They are offering a free 2-day shipping upgrade exclusively to CanonPriceWatch readers. Quantities limited.

To take advantage of this offer, click through to Buy It Now on eBay (choose Free Ground shipping, mention “CPW 2-Day” in the comments, and you will be upgraded to 2-Day for free.) If you don’t want to use eBay, e-mail (sales at profeel.com) and ask about the CPW offer. The store is open tomorrow. (But please note the store could sell out tonight on eBay before processing e-mail orders tomorrow.)

Given what appears to be supply issues on this lens, we are not expecting a street price from US authorized dealers soon.
