Lens Prices Going Up on Sunday, Combo Mail-in Rebate Expiring Soon

We’ve now heard from reliable sources that the prices on 9 lenses and one speedlite will be increasing on Sunday, as the Canon instant rebates are being reduced in the upcoming rebate period.

Additionally, we’ve heard that the very popular mail-in rebate on the purchase of two or more lenses will expire on July 9th and will not be renewed.

This means this is the last week to make lens purchases and take advantage of both promotions. These deals are available with our popular street prices from Canon USA authorized dealers with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Many items also come with a free 13-month CarePAK Plus, and the net price after mail-in rebate is below our summer sale price.

All prices are assuming purchase of two lenses, and is after Canon mail-in rebate.
