New and Increased Canon Mail-in Rebates Tomorrow! $800 off 1DX

Canon will start a new mail-in rebate tomorrow, October 26th.

This looks to be a really exciting rebate. We see a rebate on the EOS-1D X for the first time; all bodies and lenses currently on rebate had their rebates extended; 10 lenses were added (including the new EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM), and 11 lenses saw their rebate values increased. This is the rebate we’ve all been waiting for!

Our street prices are from authorized Canon dealers, and are fully eligible for the mail-in rebate.

This rebate is valid for purchases at authorized Canon USA dealers. This rebate runs until November 22nd. (Thanks to Alan for the info!)

UPDATE: Here is the rebate form.

Street Price Special: 5D Mark III + BG-E11 $2799, +24-105mm $3399

This street price special is back and even better: a EOS 5D Mark III + a genuine Canon BG-E11 battery grip for only $2799 (after all applicable rebates), from an authorized dealer with full 1-year Canon USA warranty. No tax to all states, and free standard shipping.

There is also a similar deal on the EOS 5D Mark III + 24-105mm f/4L IS with Canon BG-E11 battery grip for only $3399 (after all applicable rebates).

The grip deal is very hot, because it’s only $100 more than the already fantastic $2699 body-only street price (after the $200 MIR). The BG-E11 battery grip goes for $275 at other authorized dealers.

If you are interested you can fill out the 5D Mark III street price contact form, or the EOS 5D Mark III + 24-105mm f/4L IS street price contact form, depending on which you’re interested in. Please note in the comments that you’re interested in the grip deal.



New Rebates Starting Sunday include “Huge Rebate” on EOS-1D X

One of our reliable sources read our prediction post and let us know that a new mail-in rebate period is indeed starting on Sunday, October 26th, and it includes a “huge rebate” on the EOS-1D X. The street price from authorized dealers is currently $6099 vs. a MAP of $6799, and we’re looking forward to seeing how big this rebate is. This is the first time we’ve seen a significant discount on a 1-series body.

We’re also told that the rebate list is “much broader” with more lenses, and in some cases, increased lens rebate amounts. We’ll post more once we can get a hold of the rebate list and amounts. Please contact us if you have any info.



CanonPriceWatch’s Holiday Predictions, Part 1: Authorized Dealers

Holidays are quickly approaching, and the most commonly asked question is: what will the prices be? We’re going to be writing a series of posts over the coming weeks with some Canon Holiday price predictions. In this first post, we’ll tackle some predictions on authorized dealer pricing. In future posts, we’ll write about predictions on import prices from unauthorized dealers, and also on refurbished prices. (If you still are confused about the differences, please read our article on the topic.)

Please take our predictions with a grain of salt. These are predictions only, and there are many factors that can cause the landscape to change over the next months (Canon itself is the major factor, and there are many factors outside of Canon’s control).

Hot: EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS for $1849 (Import) BigValueInc eBay


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from BigValueInc via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105mm Kit for $1849.99. This ties for the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this kit brand new.

A white-box 24-105mm typically goes for $600, so this is like getting a EOS 6D for only $1249 — an fantastic price.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 98.9% 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. After one year, your kit becomes the same as every other Canon USA warranty kit: if you need service you will need to pay Canon for it (and Canon will gladly service an grey/import model if you pay for service). Compare with our street price of $2039 AR from an authorized dealer. Transactions on eBay have been generally safe as you can rely on eBay Protection, PayPal Protection, and credit card protection.
