Canon Instant Rebate Tonight?

We’re noticing some significant price drops today at various retailers who are known for “jumping the gun”. Specifically, the EF 28mm f/2.8 IS is $549, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS is $599, and the EF 35mm f/2 IS is $599. Also, the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and EF-S 10-22mm are dropping to match prices from an eBay deal earlier this week.

This all points to some new instant rebate or price change happening soon on some items (likely later tonight). Stay tuned and we’ll post details as soon as we have them.

UPDATE: There’s no sign of an instant rebate regarding these 5 lenses, and it looks like the “official” refurbished prices for these lenses changed as well. This means what we saw as a permanent price drop, not an instant rebate. Even better!
