Get Notified When the EF 100-400mm IS II is Available for Pre-Order

Posted November 9, 2014 at 9:58 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 7 comments.

The yet-to-be-announced EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II has been thoroughly leaked by all the Canon rumor sites. We’re expecting it to be officially announced and available for pre-order within 24-36 hours.

The lens is expected to carry a hefty $2199 USD introductory price tag, representing a 65% premium over our street price of $1329.99 AR for the Mark I version of the lens. This is the typical price increase seen for recent refreshes (namely, the 70-200 II, and 24-70 II). We’re yet to see if the performance from this long-awaited refresh justifies the higher price.

As usual, you can set a pre-order notification to be e-mailed immediately when the lens is available for pre-order, or you can marvel at our new price listing page for the lens (which is empty, for now).

	EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera	$1374.95 Deal Active

	EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera	$1999.00 Deal Expired

	EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera	$2295.39 Deal Expired

All three of the major Canon unauthorized dealers on eBay (6th Ave, BigValueInc, and AllNewShop (a.k.a. GetItDigital)) slashed their prices today on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III to sub-$2500 — the lowest (for now) is 6th Ave at $2491.81.

This is the first time we’ve seen a sub-$2500 price on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III since Black Friday of 2013. This is a great price today, but bodes really well for any upcoming holiday sales! To get an e-mail notification if the 5D Mark III price drops further, click the “Notify” button on the 5D Mark III page.

As usual, these are imports; they are not guaranteed to have a Canon USA warranty, but these are reliable retailers who provide a store warranty. Our authorized dealer street price is $2699 AR.

eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D for $1349 (Import) GetItDigital

	EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera	$1264.99 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1440.00 Deal Expired

Today’s eBay Daily deal is from Get It Digital via eBay, they have the Canon EOS 6D for $1349.99. This ties for the lowest price ever seen. This is an import model, but it is physically identical and has WiFi and GPS.

Get It Digital via eBay is a reputable unauthorized dealer, they have 99.3% feedback on high-value Canon items including a good track record on the EOS 6D. One small warning though, they are adamant about charging a 5% restock fee on returns (unless defective), so please be sure before purchasing.

If you would prefer an authorized dealer with a great 30-day return policy and a full 1-year Canon USA Warranty, we have a street price of $1439 after the $200 Canon mail-in rebate.

EOS 1D-X for $4799 (Import) eBay, or $5299 AR Street Price

Posted November 4, 2014 at 11:35 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 9 comments.

	EOS-1D X Digital SLR Camera	$4799.99 Deal Expired

	EOS-1D X Street Price	$5300.00 Deal Expired

Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from BigValueInc via eBay, they have the Canon EOS-1D X for $4799.99. This ties for the lowest price we’ve seen on a brand new (import) EOS 1D-X.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 99.3% feedback score on high-value Canon items. This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead.

If you prefer instead a Canon USA model with guaranteed 1-year Canon USA warranty, please consider our street price of $5299 AR from an authorized dealer.

Popular Street Prices: 70-200 II $1899, 24-70 II $1749, 16-35 f/4 $1049

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1440.00 Deal Expired

The Canon 20%-off refurbished sale ended with no restock of highly-desired lenses — those lenses already sell out quickly at full refurbished price, so we’re not surprised that Canon did not restock them during the sale.

If you are disappointed, luckily, we still have some great street prices available, brand new from authorized Canon dealers with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty, no tax to most states:

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II street price of $1899 AR (vs. MAP of $2149)
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM street price of $1749 AR (vs. MAP of $1949)
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM street price of $1049 AR (vs. MAP of $1099)
See all the street prices…

The street price on the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is especially popular as this is the first time the lens has gone on rebate. Again, we’re not expecting to see the Canon Minimum Advertised Price policy broken this year, so we don’t expect to see lower prices publicly shown on retailer’s websites.

We also continue to have two fantastic and popular body deals, and some grip specials, please inquire if interested.

EOS 5D Mark III street price of $2699 AR (vs. MAP of $3199)
EOS 6D street price of $1439 AR (vs. MAP of $1699)
