It’s amazing how fast time flies — this month, we’re celebrating CanonPriceWatch’s 15th anniversary. We created this site in March of 2010, to track Canon prices (and discover those secret “add-to-cart” discounts). One of our earliest site archives from 2010 shows a simple page tracking prices and rebates across a set of cutting-edge Canon products — including the EOS 5D Mark II and the recently released EOS 7D.
We have been on a remarkable journey in these fifteen years. Despite shifts in the market and pricing, we’ve been able to find and share all the best deals: the “mail-in-rebate” deals in the early days, the reputable unauthorized dealers in 2013-2016, the “great MAP crackdown” and subsequent introduction of the street price program in 2014. Printer bundles were once all the rage (2014 to 2018), and Canon refurbished has always been great, but especially over the last four or five years.
Whether you’ve been following the site since the very beginning, or just joined us last week, thank you for being part of such a great readership — we truly enjoy bringing the Canon deals to the Canon photographer community. We greatly appreciate all the support that you’ve shown us over the years, and we look forward to many more years and deals ahead.
