We can now confirm a Canon Canada price increase in April. This price increase is needed to bring the currently lower Canadian prices in-line with US prices, as Canon items in Canada and the USA have warranty valid for both countries. Savvy readers have recently been taking advantage by purchasing from Canada (contact us or use the street price form if you’d like help.)

We’ll be seeing, on average, a 19.8% increase in lens prices and about an average 10.2% increase in body prices across the Canon line-up.

As this change is due solely to foreign exchange rates, we don’t expect a corresponding Canon USA price increase. However, street prices may float up as the competitive pressure from the Canadian dealers is removed. Given the current strong instant rebates, now is likely a great time to buy.
