Unfortunately the upcoming rebate change on January 2nd is extensive, and not a change for the better. If you’re looking to purchase a Canon camera, lens, or flash: the time is now. We now have the full details: 23 lenses, several cameras, and all printer bundles will see their rebate reduced or eliminated altogether.
Here is a run-down of all the items that will have their rebates reduced or eliminated.
Printer Bundle Deals Increasing in Price
We’re told that the printer bundle deals will not be available after January 2nd, at current pricing.
Cameras with Reduced Instant Savings — Effective Price Increase
We’re told the EOS 7D Mark II, EOS 70D, EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R will have their instant savings reduced.
Also, the instant rebate on the EOS M3 will be reduced. Right now you can get the EOS M3 and EVF-DC1 Electronic Viewfinder for only $448.98 at B&H. Click here, then click “Build Bundle” (under the price box), then select the bundle with the EVF-DC1. This will be more expensive after Saturday.
Lenses with Reduced Instant Savings — Effective Price Increase
Sadly, we will see a reduction in instant savings on the below 23 lenses and 3 flashes, which translates to an effective price increase. If you’re coveting a lens on this list, we highly recommend you take advantage of the current pricing prior to the price change on January 2nd. Most items will see either a $50 or $100 price increase. Historically, the next opportunity for big savings will be in the Spring (typically around April/May). You can check out the full list of current instant savings at B&H.
