The US dollar keeps on getting stronger (vs. the Canadian dollar), so this pre-order deal on the 7D Mark II keeps on getting better:
Camera Canada, a reputable Canadian authorized Canon dealer, has the EOS 7D Mark II and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for $2298 Canadian Dollars + shipping (approximately $2099.00 US dollars, given current exchange rates).
This is a fantastic deal because Canadian cameras have been historically supplied with a Canon USA & Canada warranty card that is valid for Canon USA warranty. As the 7D Mark II pre-orders for $1799 in the US, it is like getting the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for only $300. This is a lens that is regularly $999 (and that’s only after a recent $500 price drop).
Our readers report paying no tax, duty, or other custom fees when purchasing from Camera Canada. Click here to check out the deal at Camera Canada. Since this is a pre-order, you won’t be charged until your order ships (if you use a credit card), just place an order to be on their list. Please note the official price is $2298 Canadian dollars + shipping. We can’t predict where exchange rates will be in one month, as you aren’t billed until the item ships, but at today’s rates it is $2099 USD. Our readers report that Camera Canada has been open to billing in US dollars at the prevailing exchange rate, so you can ask them about this in November when it comes time to pay for the order.
This is an official pre-order deal that Canon is running exclusively in Canada. Also note, Canon Canada now requires everyone who is taking part in this offer to submit a form with a Canadian address, to prove that you are an end-consumer and not making large orders for re-sale. So you will need a Canadian address for Canon, but note that every store we’ve spoken to says they will still ship the purchase to an address of your choice (it doesn’t have to be the one on the form).
