Hot: 100-400mm II for $1599 (Grey Market) GetItDigital eBay


A hot grey market deal from Get It Digital via eBay. They have the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II for $1599.00. This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this lens.

Get It Digital, also known as AllNewShop, is not an authorized dealer, so this item is grey market. A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, but readers report it is historically honored. Beware a potential upsell call (stay firm and insist they process your order at this price).




Lowest Yet: EOS 5Ds $2399 at Get It Digital via eBay (Grey Market)


Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 5Ds for $2399.00. This is the lowest price we have seen on this camera.

This is likely grey market / import, as Get It Digital via eBay is not an authorized dealer. Historically Canon USA has provided warranty service on grey market bodies anyway — but this is at the discretion of Canon USA, and can change at any time. Beware an upsell call, stay firm and insist that they process your order at the $2399 price.

If you’d feel more comfortable with an authorized dealer and a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, check out our street price of $2849.99 from an authorized Canon dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and great customer service.



B&H DealZone: Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter for $79


Today’s B&H Photo Video DealZone (one-day deal) is the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter for $79.95. Regular price for this filter is $135. A similar deal was featured last August and was quite popular.

We’re normally not a fan of Tiffen filters or variable density ND (we prefer the reliable quality of the Lee Big Stopper) — but the reviews for this variable density ND filter read quite well (4.5 star on B&H). There are some caveats if you use the higher densities at wider angles, but overall it seems good value for money, if you don’t want to spend $350-400 on a Lee Stopper system.



Grey Market EF 24-105mm f/4L IS for $549 at AllNewShop via eBay


AllNewShop via eBay has yet another great grey market deal. They have the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $549.00, this is a white-box lens (taken from a camera kit), and the lowest price we’ve seen yet (grey market) for this lens.

AllNewShop, also known as GetItDigital, is not an authorized dealer, so this item is grey market. A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, but readers report it is historically honored. Beware a potential upsell call (stay firm and insist they process your order at this price).

Also consider our street price of $619 brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer.



EOS 80D, EF-S 18-135 USM, G7 X Mark II Announced, Pre-Order


Canon has announced the EOS 80D camera, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, and the PowerShot G7 X Mark II point-and-shoot.

The EOS 80D features a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, and is capable of up to 7 fps and Full HD 1080p60 video. Also impressive is a new 45-point AF system, and as expected, Canon has kept the dual-pixel AF system that was introduced with the EOS 70D.

The EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM uses a new “NANO USM” technology that supposedly combines USM and STM. The only thing of note for this lens is it can be used with a PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter to enable power zoom for video or remote shooting applications.

Most items are available for pre-order with a first shipment in mid-April.



Restock: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II for $1679 Refurb, or $1799 New


The Canon Direct Store just restocked 20+ copies of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II refurbished for $1679.20. Free shipping. This is a very popular refurbished lens that is rarely in-stock at the Canon Direct Store.

Unfortunately, the 10%-off lenses sale just expired on Sunday. As the Canon Direct Store does collect tax to all states, you may also want to consider the street price of $1799 brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer. It would include both the 1-year Canon USA warranty and the special 13-month accidental damage extended warranty.
