Think Tank Photo is having an outlet sale on some of their very popular bags — they’re discounted up to 30%. They state that their Outlet Center products are new, but some of the items may be missing sales tags and original packaging material. We’ve always been impressed with the design, quality, and durability of their camera bags and backpacks, and list a wide assortment of their gear on our accessories page. When you use this link to make a purchase, you also receive a free accessory of your choice, and free shipping.

The sale lasts for as long as there is stock — some items are already sold out.

Based on both historic trends and information from reliable sources, we suspect that Canon lens prices may increase on July 1st. The two major rebate programs are scheduled to expire on July 1st, and we are told they may be renewed at a lower rebate value. For many popular lenses this will translate to a $50 increase in base price and a $50 decrease in mail-in rebate value (when you purchase two or more lenses). In total, this is an up-to $100 increase in net price per lens.

A price increase at this time would not be surprising; historically, it is typical for Canon to increase their prices through the summer months, giving them room to discount for the holiday season. We will update our blog as we learn more before the rebate expiry on July 1st.

If you are interested to “lock-in” at the current prices, please take advantage of our stellar street prices from Canon USA authorized dealers before July 1st, and before the deals and discounts dry up in the hot summer months.

To take advantage of the mail-in rebate and get the lower “net price”, you must purchase TWO items from the below list in the same transaction.
