Hot: 5D Mark III + 24-105L Import for $2599 BigValueInc eBay

EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit Digital SLR Camera

BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit for $2599.99. This is the new lowest price that we’ve seen to-date for this camera plus lens combo, a hot deal!

Conservatively valuing the lens at $550 places the camera body at $2049, extremely close to the $2k threshold.

This is likely an import, as BigValueInc via eBay is not an authorized dealer. As a result, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (the store provides a warranty instead). Historically Canon USA has provided warranty service — but this is at the discretion of Canon USA.

This retailer has been a reliable eBay seller based on eBay feedback and reader feedback. We will caution that their return policy (for elective returns rather than defective returns) is strict, so make sure you want this before buying. We will also caution that other eBay dealers have recently attempted up-sell calls, but as long as you’re firm, our readers report no problems receiving a brand new camera plus lens, and this is a fantastic price.

Sigma Art 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Announced

Art 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM for Canon Wide Angle Lens

$649.00

Pre-Order

UPDATE: Price is $849.00 at B&H.

Sigma just announced the Sigma Art 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM, designed for full-frame cameras. The list price is not yet available, but just like the extremely popular Art 50mm f/1.4 (street price: $855) and Art 35mm f/1.4 (street price: $810), we expect excellent image quality for a very reasonable price. This definitely will give the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM (street price: $1469 AR) a run for its money.

The pricing on the Sigma Art 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM hasn’t been announced yet. If you’d like to be notified when the lens is given a price and is available for pre-order, be sure to sign-up for pre-order notification.

Pre-Order the 5DS from Canada for $3353 USD (vs $3699 B&H)

Posted February 8, 2015 at 11:01 am EST by CanonPriceWatch. 5 comments.

	EOS 5Ds Digital SLR Camera	$4099.00 Pre-Order CA$

	EOS 5Ds R Digital SLR Camera	$4299.00 Pre-Order CA$

	EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens	$3499.00 Pre-Order CA$

It looks like the best way to get a discounted price on the new Canon EOS 5Ds, Canon EOS 5Ds R, or Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is to pre-order from Canada:

Camera Canada, an authorized Canon Canada dealer, has the Canon EOS 5Ds for $4099.00 (Canadian $), the Canon EOS 5Ds R for $4299.00 (Canadian $), and the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM for $3499.00 (Canadian $).

After adding shipping (about $40) and converting to USD at current exchange rates, the final price is $3353 USD (vs $3699 from B&H) on the 5DS, $3515 USD (vs $3899 from B&H) on the 5DS R, and $2866 USD (vs $2999 from B&H) on the 11-24mm. That’s significant savings for newly announced items!

Readers report that they’ve never experienced tax, duty, or other border-crossing fees when purchasing from Camera Canada, so the price paid to the store should be the final price. The store will also optionally bill you in USD (at the prevailing exchange rate at the time the item ships), but it’s important you select the “Contact Me” option as a payment method during checkout and mention this. As another benefit, you won’t be billed until the item is ready to ship. Pre-orders will be filled in the order received.

Historically, Canon cameras and lenses from Canada have come with Canon USA and Canada warranty cards that indicate that the item is warrantied in both Canada and the USA, and readers have never reported trouble with obtaining warranty service from Canon USA.

5DS Preorder Notifications, or 5D Mark III $2149, 6D $1299 AR

	EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera	$2149.99 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1269.00 Deal Expired

The EOS 5DS ($3699) was announced, but not available for pre-order because the camera does not yet have FCC approval. To get notified the instant the 5DS are available for pre-order, use our notification system to sign-up for pre-order notifications on the EOS 5DS or notifications on the EOS 5DS R.

Since yesterday’s launch we’ve had a surprising surge in interest for the 5D Mark III and 6D. If you have read the EOS 5DS specs and decided the camera is just not for you (or are not willing to wait until June), there are still some excellent deals on the 5D Mark III and 6D as retailers continue to clear them out:

The 5D Mark III is only $2149 (might be import) from GetItDigital via eBay. As recently as yesterday, readers have recently reported receiving Canon USA warranty cards on 5D Mark III purchases from this store. (Recent purchases of the 1D X for $4199 have been without warranty cards — likely grey market.) If you prefer an authorized dealer with a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, our street price is $2399 AR.

We also have the EOS 6D brand new from an authorized Canon USA dealer with a full Canon USA warranty for $1299 after the $300 Canon-mail in rebate.

EOS 5DS, 5DS R, T6i, T6s, and EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Announced

EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens

$1999.00

Pre-Order

Canon just announced the following cameras and lens!

EF 11-24mm f/4L USM for $2999 at B&H, Adorama, Amazon, or Canada

The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are the long-awaited 50MP+ full-frame DSLRs. It’s yet to be seen if the sensor technology is bought-in (e.g. Sony) or new Canon technology. At $3699 and $3899 with and without anti-alias filter, respectively, they are priced modestly (similar to where the 5D Mark III started out).

We’re excited to see the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM — hefty price at $2999 price tag, but apparently it’s designed to resolve pixel-sharp on the 50MP EOS 5DS. This one’s available by the end of the month.

Finally, two new rebels, the EOS Rebel T6i and the slightly up-market EOS Rebel T6s, the first rebel to feature an LCD top-plate.

To get notified the instant the 5DS are available for pre-order, use our notification system:

Street Price Drop: EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM $635 Brand New

Posted February 4, 2015 at 9:35 am EST by CanonPriceWatch. 2 comments.

The street price on the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM has dropped to $635.00, brand new, Canon USA warranty, from an authorized Canon USA dealer with free shipping. This lens is in “white box” packaging, but is brand new unused, and includes hood, caps, pouch, and Canon USA warranty card.

Our street prices have now settled after the Canon pricing change over the weekend (due to a change in mail-in rebates). The net result is many lenses did go up slightly in street price, with a few staying the same. Check out all the street prices.

Announcements Coming this Week: 5Ds, EF 11-24mm f/4L, and More

Posted February 2, 2015 at 5:13 pm EST by CanonPriceWatch. 10 comments.

We are expecting an announcement, at the end of this week, of new bodies and lenses. In addition to the widely leaked high-megapixel EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R, we’re told by reliable sources of two new Rebel-series bodies. One of the Rebels has a top-plate LCD, as was leaked in recent product photos — we’re excited to see Canon push the Rebel line a bit more up-market.

On the glass side, the widely-anticipated EF 11-24mm f/4L USM specs and photos have been leaked, but we also hear about two new non-L lenses at the same time or shortly after: the 50mm will finally get its refresh, as will the aging 70-300mm.

As with all leaks you should take this with a grain of salt until the announcements are said and done.

To get notified the instant these items are announced and available for pre-order (we’re told availability is in late March / early April on the EOS 5Ds), you can set them up here:

Surprise, Lens Rebates Are Standalone (No Body Purchase Required)

Posted February 1, 2015 at 11:03 am EST by CanonPriceWatch. 11 comments.

Rebates have been so full of surprises lately. We posted earlier in the week that the new lens rebates were only going to be on the smaller set of the most popular lenses, have reduced rebate values, and require the simultaneous purchase of a body. (This was based on info that we’d seen earlier in the week, confirmed by multiple sources.)

We got two out of three right — the change is: there’s no requirement to purchase a body to get the lens rebates. The lens rebates values are indeed smaller by $50-$100, and available on fewer lenses. It was more advantageous to purchase in January (good call if you did), but a small rebate is better than no rebate!

The PIXMA PRO-100 rebate is also significantly reduced (now $250 for a bundle instead of $350). This has a new promotion id, 8191332, so you are eligible for this rebate even if you purchased the same item in the previous rebate.

See the rebate form.
