Canon Refurbished Sale: 15%-Off Refurb Lenses, 24-70 II for $1291


The Canon Direct Store started a refurbished sale: 15%-off refurbished lenses.

There are a few popular items in-stock now. Check out our refurb stock tracker to see all items in-stock, and most importantly, set notifications so you get e-mailed when the item you want is back in-stock! We expect a restock some time before the sale ends on May 7th.

Canon Refurbished items come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. This is a rare 15%-off sale. Most recent sales have only been 10%-off.




Triple-Stacked Rebates Extended, Bonus Discounts, Free CarePAK Plus

Canon has extended their instant rebates. This means the incredible “triple-stacked” discount is still live. This discount combines Canon instant rebates, our low street prices, and the Canon lens-combo mail-in rebate program (when you purchase two or more lenses.) The instant rebate has also been increased on a few popular lenses, making the savings even better.

For a limited time, we are offering an additional discount when you buy certain lenses. If you are interested in a lens please fill out the street price form and we’ll let you know about any specials or combos available.

Canon has also brought back their very popular CarePAK Plus promotion, where you can receive a free 13-month extended warranty (covering accidental damage and priority service.) This is available on the following bodies and lenses:

Here are all the current triple-stack deals. Please note that all prices shown are after all applicable rebates and are assuming you’re purchasing multiple lenses at once.



Super Hot, Live Again: EOS 80D + PRO-100 $849 AR BuyDig eBay


This super-hot deal is live once again — but not for long.

Authorized dealer BuyDig via eBay has a bundle of the EOS 80D and PIXMA PRO-100 for only $849.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. You also get a free memory card. Click here to check out the deal at BuyDig via eBay. This is the lowest price seen yet for the EOS 80D. The body alone goes for $1199, this is a $350 discount and a free printer!

We expect the new MAP restrictions to take effect this weekend. Retailers will no longer be able to advertise low prices for printer bundle deals. This bundle will go up in price to a minimum of $1549 before rebate ($1199 after rebate.)



Live Again: 100-400mm II for $1699 (Grey Market) at GetItDigital eBay


This deal is back in-stock: Get It Digital has the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II (grey market) for $1699.00.

As usual, you may receive an upsell call — please be sure to decline any upgrades. This is grey market, and a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (but historically honored). If grey market is not for you, please consider a street price of $1799.00 (brand new from an authorized dealer, limited quantities remain).



Hot, Lowest Yet: Tamron SP 150-600mm VC for $679 BuyDig via eBay


Authorized Tamron USA dealer BuyDig via eBay has the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD for Canon for only $679.00. This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this lens, from an authorized Tamron USA dealer.

Canon, Nikon, and Sony mounts are available. One caveat is the listing states the items are “Dented Box” condition. In previous “open box” or “dented box” sales, readers have reported receiving brand new, unopened items with perfect boxes. We expect this may just be a method to get around Tamron’s MAP restrictions.

Free shipping. The shipping estimate suggests it will ship this week (even with the Passover closing.)



PIXMA PRO Bundle Deal MAP Restrictions Coming on May 1st


We now have more information on the changes to printer bundle deals coming on May 1st. The mail-in rebate will continue to be renewed; however, a new MAP (minimum advertised price) restriction will be put in place. The advertised after-rebate final price of the bundle will be restricted: it can’t be less than the MAP price of the camera. As with all MAP restrictions, the net effect is that competition is reduced and effective prices go up.

We advise that you take advantage of these bundle deals before the new MAP restrictions go in place on May 1st. Readers report that even though many stores are closed for Passover, the date on the invoice is the day of ordering, ensuring you are eligible for the mail-in rebate.



Street Price Specials: 100-400 II $1799, 11-24L $2599, 5Ds R $2999


We’re pleased to see the return of three very popular street price deals. All three are brand new from Canon authorized dealers with a 1-year Canon USA warranty, but are not eligible for the current lens-combo mail-in rebate promotion.

Please inquire for more details. While quantities last.
