Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features a deal on the Tokina AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX for Canon EF — it’s now only $579.00, a $320 discount from the regular price of $899, and the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this lens.




Refurb “Restock”: 90D Kits Available for First Time, 80D, RF & EF Glass


The Canon Direct Store just “restocked” some refurbished inventory. It’s likely this is not real stock, given all the challenges and delays other readers are seeing, but consider this as an opportunity to get in during this 15%-off sale (ending tomorrow), and hope your order gets filled at a future date.

The 90D kits are available refurbished for the first time; there are also decent deals on the 80D.

See our refurb stock tracker for the full list of available items.



EOS R5 Back In-Stock at Amazon (Sold by Amazon, Prime Eligible)


The EOS R5 is now in-stock at Amazon (at a price of $3899.00). This is sold by Amazon directly, not by a 3rd party through the Amazon marketplace. It’s eligible for free Amazon Prime shipping, if you are a Prime member.

There are 10 copies in-stock at time of post.



In-Stock at B&H: RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS and RF 50mm f/1.8


B&H Photo Video is now showing stock of both the RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM ($599.00) and the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM ($199.00). We would expect that this is limited stock and will sell quickly (just like other times retailers have had these highly coveted lenses available). Free shipping.

The Canon Direct Store just “restocked” most of their refurbished inventory. There’s a very hot 15%-off stacking sale that ends on Thursday, so this is likely the last restock in the sale. Check out our refurbished stock tracker for the details of everything that is now in-stock.

We write “restock” in quote because many readers report not yet receiving items purchased earlier in the sale. These are great prices, but we’d expect a long wait to receive them, please be patient. Purchase quickly and use expedited shipping to increase your chances of receiving sooner.



What’s Going On with the Canon Direct Store? (Sale Ends on Thursday)


The Canon Direct Store has been running a very hot 15%-off refurbished stacking sale since Cyber Monday. Unfortunately, many customers have experienced significant delays, with several readers reporting that their orders are stuck in an “inventory fulfilled” state and yet to ship.

We’re not sure what the situation is — there have been many Canon Store challenges this year. We’ve seen a lot of “phantom stock”, where the store will show “1 in-stock” for a long time, but orders go straight to a “backorder” state. We’re hoping all of these great 15%-off deals will get filled in the end.

Our recommendation is to remain patient — check on your order status frequently. Patience is key, you’re getting a great deal, so be prepared to tolerate a long wait (which includes the 90+ minute hold to get phone support on your orders). For future deals, submitting your order early in a sale (and upgrading to expedited shipping options) seems to help in getting your item shipped out faster.

The 15%-off stacking refurbished sale ends on December 24th, but most things are out-of-stock and cannot be ordered. For all items below (except for the T7 kit, which is showing 20+), the stock is so low it may be “phantom stock”, but the prices are great and it may be worth trying your luck — and patience.
