Canon 20%-Off Refurbished Sale Restocked, Did You Miss it?

Posted October 29, 2014 at 11:10 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 13 comments.

The Canon Direct Store restocked about 30 minutes ago. There was one or two each of the super-desirable items in-stock, including the 24-70 II, 100L Macro, 85L, and others. They are featuring 20%-off refurbished lenses and select bodies with coupon code “PUMPKIN2014”. The sale ends October 31st.

It looks like most items sold out within 10 minutes or less. The best way to get notified about restocks is by setting a notification on our refurbished stock tracker. You can see what’s in stock via that handy single page, and set notifications using the ‘Notify’ button (on the far right) on out-of-stock items.

There are still a few great deals left, check them out at our refurbished stock tracker. There might be another micro-restock in the next few days, so keep on watching. These 20%-off sales are rare, and represent Canon’s highest refurbished lens discount.

7D Mark II Now on eBay (Authorized Dealer), and Two Bundle Deals

Posted October 28, 2014 at 5:19 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 3 comments.

	EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR Camera	$1649.00 Deal Expired

	PIXMA PRO-100 + EOS 7D Mark II with 18-135mm STM Kit Bundle	$1999.99 Deal Expired

	EOS 7D Mark II + EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Bundle	$2095.00 Deal Expired

The arrival of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II is imminent, as we now see eBay listings from authorized dealers for it, including authorized dealer Profeel via eBay. They have a price of $1799.00 and indicate that it will ship on October 30th.

UPDATE: CPW readers will get a free overnight shipping upgrade. Select free ground shipping, then write “CPW” in the comments.

There are also two great bundle deals to consider.

BuyDig has a bundle of the EOS 7D Mark II with 18-135mm Kit and PIXMA PRO-100 for $1999.99, after a $350 mail-in rebate. To get this deal, first add the 7D Mark II to your cart, then add the PIXMA PRO-100 printer. You see a price of $2349 at checkout, then get a $350 rebate to net $1999. UPDATE: This is now expired.

Finally, the best bundle deal for the 7D Mark II is completely expiring tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. Camera Canada, a reputable Canadian authorized Canon dealer, has the EOS 7D Mark II and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for $2298 Canadian Dollars + $29 shipping (approximately $2095.00 US dollars, given current exchange rates). The deadline to order it for launch day has passed (it was last Tuesday). You can still order the bundle up to midnight on October 29th, but it won’t ship on launch day, October 30th. You do not need a Canadian address to participate in this deal.

Street Price Special: 5D Mark III + BG-E11 $2799, +24-105mm $3399

Posted October 24, 2014 at 2:36 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 3 comments.

This street price special is back and even better: a EOS 5D Mark III + a genuine Canon BG-E11 battery grip for only $2799 (after all applicable rebates), from an authorized dealer with full 1-year Canon USA warranty. No tax to all states, and free standard shipping.

There is also a similar deal on the EOS 5D Mark III + 24-105mm f/4L IS with Canon BG-E11 battery grip for only $3399 (after all applicable rebates).

The grip deal is very hot, because it’s only $100 more than the already fantastic $2699 body-only street price (after the $200 MIR). The BG-E11 battery grip goes for $275 at other authorized dealers.

If you are interested you can fill out the 5D Mark III street price contact form, or the EOS 5D Mark III + 24-105mm f/4L IS street price contact form, depending on which you’re interested in. Please note in the comments that you’re interested in the grip deal.

New Rebates Starting Sunday include “Huge Rebate” on EOS-1D X

Posted October 24, 2014 at 10:00 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 14 comments.

One of our reliable sources read our prediction post and let us know that a new mail-in rebate period is indeed starting on Sunday, October 26th, and it includes a “huge rebate” on the EOS-1D X. The street price from authorized dealers is currently $6099 vs. a MAP of $6799, and we’re looking forward to seeing how big this rebate is. This is the first time we’ve seen a significant discount on a 1-series body.

We’re also told that the rebate list is “much broader” with more lenses, and in some cases, increased lens rebate amounts. We’ll post more once we can get a hold of the rebate list and amounts. Please contact us if you have any info.

CanonPriceWatch’s Holiday Predictions, Part 1: Authorized Dealers

Posted October 23, 2014 at 12:25 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 34 comments.

Holidays are quickly approaching, and the most commonly asked question is: what will the prices be? We’re going to be writing a series of posts over the coming weeks with some Canon Holiday price predictions. In this first post, we’ll tackle some predictions on authorized dealer pricing. In future posts, we’ll write about predictions on import prices from unauthorized dealers, and also on refurbished prices. (If you still are confused about the differences, please read our article on the topic.)

Please take our predictions with a grain of salt. These are predictions only, and there are many factors that can cause the landscape to change over the next months (Canon itself is the major factor, and there are many factors outside of Canon’s control).

Hot: EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS for $1849 (Import) BigValueInc eBay

Posted October 21, 2014 at 12:08 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

EOS 6D with 24-105mm f/4L Kit Digital SLR Camera

$1817.58

Deal Expired

Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from BigValueInc via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105mm Kit for $1849.99. This ties for the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this kit brand new.

A white-box 24-105mm typically goes for $600, so this is like getting a EOS 6D for only $1249 — an fantastic price.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 98.9% feedback score on high-value Canon items.

This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead. After one year, your kit becomes the same as every other Canon USA warranty kit: if you need service you will need to pay Canon for it (and Canon will gladly service an grey/import model if you pay for service). Compare with our street price of $2039 AR from an authorized dealer. Transactions on eBay have been generally safe as you can rely on eBay Protection, PayPal Protection, and credit card protection.

7D Mark II: Last Call for 24-70mm f/4L IS Bundle, Approx. $2080

Posted October 20, 2014 at 9:09 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 29 comments.

EOS 7D Mark II + EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Bundle

$2095.00

Deal Expired

Many camera stores (including B&H) now show the 7D Mark II as shipping on October 30th. The stores from Canada are no exception, they’ve also announced the same ship date.

The ship date is nearing, and this also means a last call for a great pre-order bundle deal. Camera Canada, a reputable Canadian authorized Canon dealer, has the EOS 7D Mark II and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for $2298 Canadian Dollars + $29 shipping (approximately $2080.00 US dollars, given current exchange rates).

In order to get this deal shipped on the first day (October 30th), it must be ordered by end of day Tuesday (October 21st). You can still order this bundle up to October 29th but it will not ship in the first allocation. It appears that you no longer need a Canadian address to order this deal.

The US dollar continues to strengthen against the Canadian dollar, making this an even better deal. It is like getting the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for only $280 on top of the price of a 7D Mark II.

Our readers report paying no tax, duty, or other custom fees when purchasing from Camera Canada. Click here to check out the deal at Camera Canada. Please note the official price is $2298 Canadian dollars + shipping. We can’t predict where exchange rates will be on October 30th, as you aren’t billed until the item ships, but at today’s rates it is $2080 USD. Our readers report that Camera Canada has been open to billing in US dollars at the prevailing exchange rate, so you can ask them about this in a week when they are ready to ship the order.

We can also now report that the confusing form with a Canadian address requirement (that was the subject of much consternation) appears to be no longer required to place this bundle order. That is great news!
