More bundle deals!
B&H Photo Video has a bundle of the EOS Rebel T5i with 18-55 Kit and PIXMA PRO-100 for $399.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. Click here to check out the deal at B&H Photo Video.
Adorama has a bundle of the EOS Rebel SL1 with 18-55mm Kit (Black), PIXMA PRO-100, and EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III for $399.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. Click here to check out the deal at Adorama.
Another great bundle deal from Adorama: the EOS Rebel T6i with 18-135mm IS STM, PIXMA PRO-100, free Lowepro bag, and photo paper for only $749.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate.
Click here to check out the deal at Adorama. This is an amazing deal as the T6i body-only itself goes for $749, and the T6i+18-135 STM kit usually retails for $949.
Remember that you are only eligible for one printer mail-in rebate during this rebate period (which ends November 28th). Between this stellar T6i deal, the 7D Mark II bundle deal, the 6D bundle deal, or the EOS-1D X bundle deal, we’d be awfully surprised if you make it to November 28th without buying a bundle!
Photography Bay is reporting that Canon USA has sued two of the largest Canon grey market eBay dealers (GetItDigital and BigValueInc), seeking an injunction to prevent them from selling grey market bodies. You can read Photography Bay for the full details and a great analysis of the lawsuit.
CanonPriceWatch’s Opinion
We think this is the latest salvo in a war against grey market. We’ll remark that the vast majority of our readers report a very positive experience with purchasing grey market bodies via eBay. Many readers are aware of the risks with grey market: lack of guaranteed Canon USA warranty; a third-party USA power cable provided (to replace a European or Asian cable); but otherwise, a brand-new body that was originally destined for another market.
We think grey market dealers should be more transparent by clearly marking their goods as grey, stating all restrictions up-front, and stopping upsell calls. We do, however, see them as a valuable part of the Canon ecosystem. These dealers put pressure on the authorized USA market and keep prices in-check, so this action by Canon USA is cause for concern. We’ll continue to post deals from reliable grey market dealers via eBay, and continue to clearly spell out all the risks involved with grey whenever we post.
We understand that grey market deals aren’t for everyone. If you’re still uncomfortable, we invite you to check out our street price program with authorized dealers, look at refurbished items from Canon USA, or wait for an advertised deal from a Canon USA authorized dealer.
With the 15%-off refurbished lenses sale that just started, there are three very giftable STM lenses in-stock, perfect for a budding or aspiring photographer.
Canon refurbished items come with a Canon USA 1-year warranty, and free shipping. We’re waiting for the Canon Direct Store to restock their very popular refurbished L-lenses before this sale ends next week. Check out our refurbished stock tracker to get e-mailed when items go back in-stock.
The Canon Direct Store started a refurbished sale, they are discounting all refurbished lenses and flashes by 15%. Also, refurbished cameras have been lowered in price (matching deals from the last few weeks.)
Many of the desirable items are not in-stock at this time, but we expect a restock sometime between now and when the sale ends on Cyber Monday, November 30th. Check out our refurb stock tracker to see all items in-stock, and most importantly, set notifications so you get e-mailed when the item you want is back in-stock before next week!
Canon Refurbished items come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Many readers report they’re indistinguishable from brand new!
Canon USA has lowered the price of the Canon EOS M3 by $150 — it’s now only $429.00 for this 24MP enthusiast mirrorless body. All kit configurations are also reduced by $150, which reflects the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this camera; it was only very recently introduced to the USA.
Our street price on the Canon EOS 7D Mark II has dropped to $1199, brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer with free shipping. This includes the Canon CarePAK Plus 13-month accidental damage warranty.
You can also consider a bundle deal from Adorama of the EOS 7D Mark II, PIXMA PRO-100, 32GB Platinum II 200x SDHC, photo paper, and free Lowepro bag for $1149.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. This also includes the Canon USA extended warranty. The bonuses and free shipping are now back on this stellar package!
