eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D (WiFi/GPS) for $1199 from thepixelhub

	EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera	$963.99 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1269.00 Deal Expired

This is the lowest price on the EOS 6D we’ve seen yet: thepixelhub via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D for $1199.99. This is today’s eBay Daily Deal. It’s likely grey market.

We’ve never heard of thepixelhub before, so we did some research: they have a solid eBay history of selling Canon items. Recent transactions on the 6D appear successful (except one person who didn’t realize this was a grey market / import).

The listing clearly indicates built-in WiFi and GPS; they also mention a 1-year Canon USA warranty, but our readers know that this is at the discretion of Canon USA (as they are not an authorized dealer). Overall, this checks out as legit, also you have eBay/PayPal/credit card buyer protection to back you up in case anything goes awry. UPDATE: The seller modified their listing to change “Canon USA Warranty” to “Seller Warranty”.

If you are still uncomfortable, a popular alternative is our street price of $1299 after $300 mail-in rebate from a Canon USA authorized dealer with free shipping. That $100 buys you a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, a great return policy, and a bit more piece of mind as the transaction is with a very reputable authorized dealer, one that we already list on our site.

(In other news, Tuesday’s 5D Mark III $1999 blow-out sold out — a total of 400 bodies sold.)

Hot: 5D Mark III (Import / Grey Market) for $1999, GetItDigital via eBay

EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera

$1999.99

Deal Expired

This is the price drop we’ve all been waiting for: Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $1999.99. This is the new lowest price that we’ve seen yet on this camera, $150 below the previous low of $2149!

This is likely an import, as Get It Digital via eBay is not an authorized dealer. As a result, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (the store provides a warranty instead). 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.

Although this retailer has been a reliable eBay seller based on eBay feedback and reader feedback, we will caution that they have recently attempted up-sell calls (asking you to upgrade to a USA model). Stay firm and insist that they process your order at the $1999 price, there are no physical differences between import models and USA models, even though they may attempt to convince you otherwise.

UPDATE: As usual, the grey market vs. USA model debate! You can read our FAQ on the topic here.

UPDATE 2: 337 sold during this sale, and still counting. This is now one of the most popular 5D Mark III deals in the past year.

Still Live: 5D Mark III + 24-105L Import for $2599 BigValueInc eBay

EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit Digital SLR Camera

$2599.99

Deal Expired

This hot deal is still live: BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit for $2599.99. This is $100 lower (and a new low) compared to the Cyber Monday special price of $2699.

This is likely an import, as BigValueInc via eBay is not an authorized dealer. As a result, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (the store provides a warranty instead). Historically Canon USA has provided warranty service anyway — but this is at the discretion of Canon USA.

UPDATE: A few readers have reported receiving matching Canon USA Warranty cards with this purchase.

This retailer has been a reliable eBay seller based on eBay feedback and reader feedback. We will caution that their return policy (for elective returns rather than defective returns) is strict, so make sure you want this before buying. We will also caution that other eBay dealers have recently attempted up-sell calls, but as long as you’re firm, our readers report no problems receiving a brand new camera plus lens, and this is a fantastic price.

Street Price Specials: 7D Mark II $1529, Tamron 15-30mm $1080

	EOS 7D Mark II Street Price	$1349.00 Deal Expired

	SP 15-30mm f/2.8 DI VC USD for Canon Street Price	$1080.00 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1269.00 Deal Expired

We’ve got a few fantastic street price specials.

The EOS 7D Mark II is now only $1529 brand new from an authorized Canon dealer with Canon USA warranty. This is the lowest price seen yet for this camera, which is still listed at $1799 at other dealers. This sold out last week within a few days — this deal is only available while quantities last!

SOLD OUT! The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 DI VC USD was only recently announced, and we’re pleased to have a street price on the very first day of availability: $1080.00 from an authorized Tamron dealer with a full 6-year Tamron USA warranty. The lenses are in-stock and available to ship right now, in both Canon or Nikon mounts. Compare with $1199 at other dealers who are out of stock!

One of our most popular street prices is the EOS 6D for $1299 after the $300 Canon mail-in rebate, brand new from an authorized Canon dealer with free shipping. Many of the replacements planned this year are for the high-end (5Ds and a rumored 5D Mark IV), we haven’t seen or heard any rumors of a 6D replacement any time soon. The 6D + 24-105L is $1829 AR.
