Latest Double Dip: EF 50mm f/1.2L for $1259 at B&H

Posted October 21, 2013 at 7:50 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 11 comments.

B&H Photo Video has the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM for $1259.00 after a $180 mail-in rebate. This is the cheapest price that we’ve seen for this lens in over 5 years, since May of 2008. They’re offering a 4% reward as well. You need to add to cart and start checkout to see this special price.

UPDATE: Both Amazon and Adorama have this price too.

This is the latest in a series of double-dips. As with all double-dips this price will last only hours. The price war and competition between the camera stores this week has been furious, but great for us customers!

EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera

$1999.00

Deal Expired

This deal is back: BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2549.99. This is pretty close to the lowest price that we’ve seen from an unauthorized dealer, ever.

Compare with $3099 in an active B&H deal. Or, a fantastic deal at Adorama, $3999 for 5D3 + 24-105mm + Speedlite + a Pro-1 Pigment printer.

BigValueInc via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but the last few sales the vast majority of our readers report getting US model items. It is likely worth it for the large savings!

EOS 6D Still $1574 at BestBuy, $1519 Refurbished at Canon

	EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera	$1127.94 Deal Expired

	Refurbished EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera	$1519.20 Deal Expired

If you missed the flurry of recent 6D deals, there’s still two of note: Best Buy has the Canon EOS 6D for $1574.99. You also get a free camera bag. Unfortunately this doesn’t come with as many bonuses or rewards as the previous sales, but is still a good price for this full-frame body.

Another option is the Canon Refurb Store: they’ve lowered the price of the Refurbished EOS 6D to $1519.20 (from $1599).

All these 6D price drops and deals suggest that Canon is feeling the heat from both the recent D600 price drop (now $1679) as well as the recent Sony A7 announcement (at $1698). Is this a sign that more 6D sales are on the horizon?

EOS M with 22mm, 18-55mm, and 90EX Kit Mirrorless Camera

$399.99

Deal Expired

This deal is back: 1sale.com (previously known as 1saleaday) has the Canon EOS M with 22mm, 18-55mm, and 90EX Kit for $399.99. This deal lasts until midnight ET tonight.

This is a repeat of the deal that we saw sell out a couple of weeks ago at BuyDig via eBay. Unfortunately 1sale.com is not an authorized dealer (unlike BuyDig). But they’re still very reputable. This is a great deal if you missed the previous EOS M deal.

Even if you’re waiting for the new rumored EOS M2, this is still a great deal as the lenses plus flash should still be usable on the new EOS M2. Previously, best authorized dealer prices were $150 and $125 for the two lenses and $99 for the flash, making the body effectively $25.

Amazon Double Dips: 35L $1179, 180L Macro $1279, 300mm f/4L $1234

	EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens	$880.78 Deal Expired

	EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM Macro Lens	$1249.00 Deal Expired

	EF 300mm f/4.0L IS USM Telephoto Lens	$1234.00 Deal Expired

It’s the weekend again — and as expected Amazon has started some double-dips. Amazon has the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM for $1179.00, the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM for $1279.00, and the Canon EF 300mm f/4.0L IS USM for $1234.00. These prices are all after the mail-in rebate.

Their most recent double-dip was the 24-70 II for $1699, which kicked off a price-war from all the other retailers.

We’re hoping now for the 16-35L to be double-dipped down to $1299 or the 70-200 II down to $1899!
