EOS 70D + 18-55mm IS STM for $799 (Import) at BigValueInc via eBay

EOS 70D with 18-55 IS STM Kit Digital SLR Camera

BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 70D with 18-55 IS STM for $799.00. Compare with $1149 at authorized dealers. This is a grey market / import model for which a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (but historically Canon USA has serviced these, at their discretion — this can change at any time.)

We’ll warn that last month BigValueInc via eBay massively oversold on several great eBay deals. As a result, many readers were subjected to delays in receiving their camera bodies (with poor communication from the dealer). It looks like they have recovered from this incident, and we’d welcome any readers to comment on their experience. Other than this incident, they have been a reliable eBay dealer over the last several years.

No Lens Mail-in Rebates (until May), Body Instant Rebates Renewed

Posted March 29, 2015 at 12:36 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

Canon did not renew or extend the March mail-in rebates on lenses, they were left to expire last night at midnight. Thus, we saw an effective price increase on most popular lenses last night. A new rebate period started and the only item with a mail-in rebate is the PIXMA printer bundle. The new rebate period is from March 29th to May 2nd, so we do not expect a new lens rebate until at least May 3rd (or perhaps even later.)

The instant rebate on bodies was renewed at the current values, as expected. We still have these great street prices below, brand new from authorized Canon dealers, free shipping, and a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Check out our full list of street prices.

EOS 5D Mark III: Street price of $2299
EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit: Street price of $2699

We have received many questions from readers, “how late can I place a street price order and take advantage of the mail-in or instant rebates?”

There are currently two Canon rebate programs running, one is a Canon mail-in rebate on brand new lenses, and the other is an instant rebate on bodies (5D Mark III, 7D Mark II, 6D). They are both scheduled to expire on March 28th (unless they’re renewed or extended by Canon.)

We recommend that the street price order be confirmed (e.g. replying to our response and confirming that you’d like to order) no later than Friday at Noon ET to ensure you can order during the rebate period. This is because the rebate rules require you to make your purchase on or before Saturday, March 28th. However, many camera stores do close on Saturdays and close early on Fridays. Also, during working hours, it can take an hour or two to get you through the street price process.

The lens mail-in rebate does not need to be mailed to Canon until April 28th, so you can receive your package next week and still participate in the rebate.
