5DayDeal “Photography Business Bundle” Launches on Thursday

Posted February 21, 2016 at 10:04 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

Our friends at 5DayDeal are at it again. Like last year and the year before, they’ve assembled another fantastic bundle of eBooks and video-based learning material. This time it’s a “Photography Business Bundle” focused on helping you launch and grow your photography-based business. As before, 10% of the proceeds are donated to a few great charities.

We’ll post our review on Thursday at 3 PM ET when the bundle launches, please look for it then. What we can say is this bundle is very different in focus from the previous bundles, so it should be very complementary even if you purchased a previous bundle.

While you wait for Thursday, you can optionally sign-up for a giveaway with $10,000 of prizes, including a Canon DSLR, and gear from Lowepro, Joby, and other big brands.

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

EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens

$1599.00

Deal Expired

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)

EOS 5Ds Digital SLR Camera

$2399.00

Deal Expired

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

77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter

$74.95

Deal Expired

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

EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

$549.00

Deal Expired

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

Posted February 17, 2016 at 11:52 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 28 comments.

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.
