This deal is back from last week. BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2545.99.

Caution: this is from BigValueInc. They’re not an authorized dealer, but do have 98% eBay positive feedback. From their sale last week, users reported getting either a US model, or a Canadian model “split kit” (kit box with lens removed). Both US and Canadian models are eligible for US warranty service.

At about $950 savings vs. authorized dealers, this is a good savings and likely worth the risk.

BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2549.99.

Usual cautions: this is from BigValueInc. They’re not an authorized dealer, but do have 98% eBay positive feedback. From their sale two weeks ago, 3 users e-mailed me to report that they received US model 5D Mark IIIs including warranty cards. One user reported getting US model without warranty card, but Canon will still service any US model. The reason why they’re cheap is they are “split kits” — they were kits but the lens has been sold separately.

I normally stick with the big, most reputable dealers but they’re all $950 more at this point, thanks to Canon pricing policies. $950 buys a third party warranty and a 24-105mm lens.

[Update: Many users report via our facebook page that they were shipped US model cameras from BigValueInc in a recent sale.]
