Hot: CPW 1-Day Pre-Black Friday Sale, On Four Popular Lenses


We’re really excited to have a 1-Day Pre-Black Friday Sale, TODAY ONLY on brand new lenses from authorized Canon USA dealers. These prices are fully eligible for the multi-lens combo rebate , the free 13-month CarePAK PLUS (where applicable), a bundle discount when purchased with popular cameras, and an optional 49-month CarePAK PLUS extension! All for only one day.

Rules: Must fill out street price form before 11:59 PM tonight (Sunday November 12th), and most complete payment by 11:59 PM tomorrow (Monday November 13th). Due to the nature of this sale, sorry, no adjustments are possible on previous sales. While quantities last, no back-orders/rainchecks.

To receive the Canon USA multi-lens combo rebate of up to $150 per lens, simply bundle the lens with at least one other eligible lens at our great street prices.

Today only, you can bundle the above lenses with the 5D Mark IV, 5D Mark IV with Canon Log, or EOS-1D X Mark II for additional savings. Save $50 on the 5D Mark IV and $75 on the EOS-1D X Mark II!

To sweeten the deal even more, the free CarePAK can be extended to 49 months of warranty + accidental damage + image recovery coverage at a discount — this is a very worthwhile and affordable investment to protect your gear!



Price Drop: EOS 6D Mark II for $1749 from an Authorized Dealer


Our street price on the EOS 6D Mark II has been newly lowered to $1749 — this is for a brand new camera from a Canon authorized dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Quantities are limited. Please inquire for more details.

There is also a great bundle deal for $1699 after a $350 mail-in rebate, which includes a free PIXMA PRO-100 printer. This bundle deal expires Sunday evening.



Hot: EOS 70D + 18-55 IS STM + PIXMA PRO-100 for $569 AR


In addition to the hot bundle deals on the 6D Mark II, 80D, 77D, and Rebels, Focus Camera also has a bundle of the EOS 70D with 18-55 IS STM Kit and PIXMA PRO-100 for $569.00, after the Canon USA $350 mail-in rebate.

These printer bundles have proven very popular as they are hot prices: the printer ink and head alone can resale for $90-$100; this puts this older-generation camera + lens combo at around $470, which is well below the used market value for this camera. Click here to check out the deal at Focus Camera.

Please do read the caveat about Focus Camera as well as check out the other bundles. They expire on Sunday evening.



Hot: 6D Mark II $1699, 80D $789, with Free Printer AR (with Caveat)


Authorized Canon USA dealer Focus Camera has a number of hot bundles that include a free PIXMA PRO-100 printer, after the Canon USA $350 mail-in rebate. These are some very hot prices, especially as the printer ink and head alone can resale for $90-$100 — the best printer bundles we’ve seen in quite some time. Please note some caveats about the dealer Focus Camera at the bottom of this post.

Caveat: First and foremost Focus Camera is an authorized Canon USA dealer, so that puts them solidly one notch above grey market dealers. However, their ratings read like a mixed bag — with both smooth positive reviews as well as reviews describing problematic transactions: wrong items shipped, and long delays for cancellation or refunds. They’re certainly not a scam, they’re likely just a disorganized dealer with below-average customer service and logistics.

The prices are too good to turn down, however, with savings $200-300 off even our fantastic street prices when you consider both the upfront savings plus the free printer. Our recommendation is to proceed cautiously and be ready to exercise credit card chargeback or other recourse at the first sign of things going awry. If you’re not comfortable or don’t want the hassle, keep on waiting and perhaps another dealer will match this deal eventually.

(Friendly reminder, you can only do one printer rebate during the Oct 1 – Dec 31 period, per household. Make it count!)

The more we learn about Peak Design’s Capture and Slide products, the more impressed we get. With all camera gear, the devil is always in the details, and Peak Design has really taken the time to get all the details right.

We can’t wait to get our hands on their newly designed gear, at a 20-30% discount from retail via their Kickstarter campaign. In many cases, it’s priced less than the older versions already on the market. In addition to a great discount on the new products, they’re offering discounts of 10-50% from retail across a range of accessories. Included in the discounts are bags from their Everyday line, the star of a previous $6.5 million Kickstarter campaign. Scroll down to the bottom of their Kickstarter campaign for the offers.

Don’t miss out on this Kickstarter campaign — it expires in 30 hours. In four short days, it’s been funded to nearly 10 times goal, almost $1 million.
