This double-dip is back: Adorama has the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM for $1259.00 (after a $180 mail-in rebate). They’re also giving a 4% reward, a free filter kit, and a 16GB flash drive. You need to start checkout to see this price.

UPDATE: Some of the bonuses expired, but still 4% reward.

Both B&H and Best Buy also have this price, but with less bonuses.

These are the latest in a series of double-dip deals, where stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate, effectively doubling it. We’re still waiting for a 85L, 100L Macro, or 70-200 II double-dip!

By popular request, we added a new feature — we now show the inventory/stock count of the Canon Direct Store. You can see the inventory counts in the green deal boxes on main page posts (under the price), or on the Refurb Stock Tracker in the “Last in Stock” column.

For example, the refurbished EOS 6D for 20% off deal at $1215.36 has 215 in-stock at time of posting. Use coupon code “ZOMBIE2143” to activate this deal. We’ve been watching hundreds get bought per day since the sale began. At this rate, it will sell out before the sale ends on Saturday evening.

This feature will be useful if lenses restock — some restocks are bigger than other, and now you’ll know if they’re stocking just one copy, or hundreds. In the future we’ll also include the inventory/stock count information in the e-mail notifications.

This deal is back: Roberts Camera via eBay has the optically-stabilized Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM for Canon for $429.99. They’re an authorized Sigma retailer, and this ties for the cheapest price from an authorized dealer that we’ve seen since tracking this lens in 2011.

Compare with other authorized retailers who are currently asking $569 for this lens. This lens was due for a price-drop as the Canon equivalent EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS saw a price drop from $1059 to $829 over the last few months. At a little more than half the price, this Sigma version is a fantastic deal.

Another Canon Store paper deal: buy 1 pack (100 count) of 4×6″ Plus Glossy II Photo Paper and get 9 packs free!

Use coupon code “HUSH3” to activate the deal.

With this deal you’d be getting 1000 sheets of really glossy, premium 4×6″ paper for $18.99 (less than 2¢ per photo). You also get a free photo album book.

The Canon Store offers free shipping on paper purchases above $50, and also throws in more free paper (albeit not as glossy) above $40.

We’re surprised this deal is still live: The Canon Direct Store has the refurbished EOS 6D for 20% off! It’s now $1215.36, use coupon code “ZOMBIE2143”.

This is a fantastic deal for this full-frame camera, especially now that Canon refurbished EOS bodies have a one-year manufacturer warranty. The best new price that we’ve seen (from an authorized dealer) for the 6D was a recent deal at $1574 — this price is over $350 lower!

More generally the Canon Refurb store has a 20%-off refurbished sale — use coupon code “ZOMBIE2143”. However, it sold out in the first day and we haven’t seen a restock yet.


How to Get Notified on Canon Refurbished Restock

by . 2 comments.

This question has come up a lot recently: How do I get notified when Canon direct store restocks their 20%-off refurbished sale?

We don’t know if they will restock before the sale finishes on November 2nd, but for past sales we’ve seen periodic restocks throughout the course of the week. These restocks have happened at all times of the day: in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening. The best way to purchase one of the refurbished items is to setup a notification, on our site, and we’ll e-mail you the instant we see the item go in stock.

For more details on how to do this, as well as other commonly asked questions, please take a look at this page about our notification system. If you have any other questions or problems please don’t hesitate to contact us.
