We have heard that the Canon Direct Store is having a sale later tonight on refurbished bodies, this time including the 5D Mark III and 6D. This is rare, as they are normally excluded.

As of time of posting, only 38 refurbished 5D Mark IIIs are in-stock, and we expect these to go fast when the sale begins at midnight ET tonight. We are also told there is a free shipping code, we’ll post it when we find it.

We’ll also see the usual 20% off the rest of their line-up, including:

Recall, refurbished bodies now come with a full 1-year Canon warranty. However, the Canon Direct Store does charge sales tax to almost all states.

Authorized Canon dealer Beach Camera via eBay has the refurbished Canon EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Kit for $1899.99. You also get a free copy of Lightroom 5!

They are an authorized dealer (also known as BuyDig) so this comes (like all refurbs) with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

This is a good deal as it’s equivalent to buying a Canon EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Kit refurbished from the Canon Direct Store at 22% discount, and tax is only charged to NJ.

The last few days have had great Canon deals, including the 15%-off refurbished lens sale, and we expect more deals through the weekend — please stay tuned.

The Canon Direct Store started a sale: 15% off refurbished lenses and flashes.
This one caught us by surprise! They don’t normally run sales at Friday midnight!

There are a few great deals in stock! See above for our favorites. You can see what else is in stock on the CanonPriceWatch Refurbished Stock Tracker.

This sale runs until May 12th. Surely there will be restocks before then. If what you want is out of stock, set an e-mail notification via the CanonPriceWatch Refurbished Stock Tracker.

[Update: 3:30 AM: Going quickly. Many of the popular items won’t be around in the morning!]

[UPDATE: This deal is now happening on Thursday.]

We’ve been told of a deal coming tomorrow, Wednesday April 23rd, on the 5D Mark III at a major unauthorized dealer — we are told the price is to be “less than $2600”.

Our guess is it’s part of the current eBay Deal Frenzy but we can’t confirm at this time. Please check back tomorrow, or get notified when the deal starts via an e-mail; click the notify button on the 5D Mark III page to sign-up.

It’s good to see that recent MAP policy changes aren’t affecting the prices at unauthorized dealers.

EOS-1D X for $5599 from Get It Digital via eBay

Deal Expired

Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS-1D X for $5599.99 — a $100 price drop from last week. They only have three at this price.

They are not an authorized dealer, but are a very trusted unauthorized dealer with a history of delivering (no bait & switch or up-sell). You can read our article for an explanation of authorized vs. unauthorized dealers.

This is a tiny bit above the price of our authorized dealer group buy — but that was limited quantity, sold out in 30 minutes, and the store isn’t getting more at that price. Sorry if you missed that, but this is a reasonable alternative!
