All refurbished items now come with a 1-year Canon Warranty.

Best Buy returned their prices to “normal” today — they’re now featuring the same pre-rebate price as all other stores. We interpret this as confirmation that the low pricing we saw earlier this week was unintended — an accident on Best Buy’s part.

We’re also hearing from our readers that Best Buy has shipped all their orders at the low prices, and the rebate pre-submissions are being accepted on Canon’s rebate portal. Given the approved pre-submissions as well as all the clarifications from Canon’s hotline, we now have pretty good confidence that the double-dip will work out (as long as Canon does their part). Congrats to all who got in on the deal!

Unfortunately, with the price increase, the opportunity to get the 24-70 II for $1699 is over for now. We’re always on the lookout for the next big deal so please subscribe if you haven’t (use the notify button on the main page, or follow us on twitter) and we’ll e-mail you as soon deals happen.
