It’s amazing how fast time flies — this month, we’re celebrating CanonPriceWatch’s 15th anniversary. We created this site in March of 2010, to track Canon prices (and discover those secret “add-to-cart” discounts). One of our earliest site archives from 2010 shows a simple page tracking prices and rebates across a set of cutting-edge Canon products — including the EOS 5D Mark II and the recently released EOS 7D.
We have been on a remarkable journey in these fifteen years. Despite shifts in the market and pricing, we’ve been able to find and share all the best deals: the “mail-in-rebate” deals in the early days, the reputable unauthorized dealers in 2013-2016, the “great MAP crackdown” and subsequent introduction of the street price program in 2014. Printer bundles were once all the rage (2014 to 2018), and Canon refurbished has always been great, but especially over the last four or five years.
Whether you’ve been following the site since the very beginning, or just joined us last week, thank you for being part of such a great readership — we truly enjoy bringing the Canon deals to the Canon photographer community. We greatly appreciate all the support that you’ve shown us over the years, and we look forward to many more years and deals ahead.
Thank you! I am a newer patron of CPW, but have found the help and deals here tremendously valuable! Happy 15th!
Thank you for all you do! You are a true asset to all photographers.
CPW has been the hidden gem for Canon purchases. Much respect!
R5 in 2020 brought me here, been getting great deals ever since!
I’ve been with CPW since maybe 2013/2014. In that time, CPW has been an invaluable resource for me and those whom I pass the info. I’ve purchased many bodies & lenses, both new and refurbished, and from dealers and the street price program, all through CPW’s posts. I would never have been able to get my “dream lenses” without CPW’s help as the best price & stock tracker that I know of in the industry.
In these past 15 years, I wonder how many times we saw a super, super hot deal like the Black Friday 2023 refurbished sale? I certainly don’t remember many after say 2017 or so.
Thanks…for all you guys have been doing…
Thank you Gordon!
Thank you! Because of CPW, I have saved hundreds of dollars (and spent a few, as well)!
Wow 15 years and you keep doing this….much thanks it’s been easy and a real pleasure doing business with your site I hope you can carry on for another 15 years….regards DanC
Thank you for being around!
Had the unfortunate event of having my gear stolen last March and stumbled upon this site during a on good refurb sale. Was able to piece together a kit again and continue my career. Have been a loyal reader since!
I have reached a point in my career where I really don’t NEED new gear. But G-d help me, I check your site every day and I still end up buying some Canon item at an unbeatable price. Thanks a lot, I guess!
You Guys are the Best. I have used this site for years and got Great deals all the time. Thanks for all that you do. Much success in the years to come…!!!
Thank you for bringing us all these great deals…. I’ve been following your site for many years and I’ve purchased several bodies/lenses through your referral links. Keep up the great work!
I love and hate this site. You helped me saved tons of money, but also made me spend tons of money LOL
Thanks so much for all you do! I’ve saved (and spent) a ton thanks to you and this site!
Happy 15th! Anniversary All the best for the future!
Thanks! You’ve saved me a bundle of cash over the years.
Happy Anniversary, and thank YOU!!!
Thank you for all you do I really appreciate this site it
Is my go to for all Canon and photography accessories !
Thanks for creating such a good website and for keeping us posted on the latest Canon deals, keep up the good work!
Adding my gratitude for such a terrific site, and your work for the last 15 years. Thanks very much.
Truly one of my favorite sites to peruse and a massive resource for me when I’m making a new purchase. I would guess that 80% of the gear I use in production came by way of this site and I’m so grateful for what you do, Gordon. I really couldn’t have my small business without the money I’ve saved buying through you.
Congradulations and ty for getting me some deals
Congratulations Gordon and the rest of the CPW team! Over the years, I’ve spent thousands of dollars buying several bodies and lenses via CPW, but have also thousands when compared to buying from B&H or Adorama.
Thanks for always looking out for us with the best deals! CPW is bookmarked on my laptop and phone and I check it everyday, multiple times a day.
One more Congratulations! Well done! Thank you! and Wish you many more anniversaries to celebrate.
The site has been my go to place every time I am buying camera equipment (and maximizing value by minimizing expenses) and one of the reasons to stick with Canon because of the great refurbished sales. I recently jumped on my first Street price sale offer from here as well for an RF 85 1.2 and was impressed all the way with the quality and promptness of communication.
