Street Price Pre-Order: EOS Ra for $2399, Available Launch Day

We now have a street price pre-order available on the Canon EOS Ra — it’s available for $2399, from authorized Canon USA dealers. A limited quantity is available for ship-out on launch day (Thursday, December 5th).

The camera has a modified infrared-cutting filter in front of the sensor, which lets through about 4x as much hydrogen alpha rays (at the 656nm wavelength) vs. a regular EOS R camera. This allows for more contrast when photographing the deep red infrared rays emitted by nebulae.




Off-Topic: Sony EDU Discounts, Up to 30% Off (a7R IV for $2448)

Sony is really upping their game with their holiday deals — we wish Canon would follow suit! We just posted this super hot deal on our sister site, Sony Price Watch.

Sony is featuring a huge EDU discount with up to 30% off popular Alpha bodies and lenses at B&H. To qualify, you need a valid email address or ID from a college or university institution, and verify through B&H’s portal. The Sony Alpha a7R IV is 30% off and only $2,448.60, a tremendous discount for a camera released two months ago. Other Sony cameras and lenses are discounted as well. Check out Sony Price Watch for the details.

As far as we know, Canon does not have a similar program in the USA, but here’s to hoping they’re watching and learning from their competition this year.
