These closures also impact street price orders, please ensure these orders are placed no later than Tuesday at noon to allow them to be processed and shipped prior to the closures.




Warning: Canon Changed the PIXMA PRO-100 Mail-in Rebate Value

A couple days ago we posted the oddity that the mail-in rebate for the Printer + paper was increased to $350, as can be seen on the original rebate form. At the time, both B&H and Adorama were showing the printer at $48 AR.

It looks like this appears to have been a mistake on Canon’s part, and they have quietly gone and re-issued new rebate forms with a value of $250 for Printer + Paper purchases (you can still get $350 if you buy Printer + Paper + Camera). See the new form on B&H’s site. B&H and Adorama have increased their prices to show $148 AR now.

It’s possible you could try to argue for the $350 rebate if you’ve already purchased just the printer + paper (and for that reason we’ll keep a copy of the original rebate form online), but Canon may just remind you that the rebate fine print says they’re “not responsible for … misprints or typographical errors.” Shame on Canon for not getting this right the first time.



Live Once Again: EOS 70D + PIXMA PRO-100 for $799 AR Adorama


This really hot bundle deal is live again, for the third time:

Adorama has a bundle of the EOS 70D and PIXMA PRO-100 for only $799.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. You also get free photo paper, a bag, and a 32GB Lexar SD card.

This is a new rebate period so you are eligible for this deal even if you bought a printer last month.

Click here to check out the deal at Adorama. This is the lowest ever price seen on the EOS 70D. This is an incredible deal as the EOS 70D has a MAP price of $1099; even our street price is $939.

(The bundle shows up as a single item in your shopping cart, but includes the camera and the printer. Price before rebate is $1149, then you get a $350 rebate to net $799.)



Canon Mail-in Rebate: 24-70 II for $1799 AR, 70-200 II for $1949 AR


It’s been two days since Canon started a mail-in rebate on 27 lenses. Thus far, the most popular street price lens deals in the new rebate have been the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1949 AR and the 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1799 AR.

The rebate also renewed the $200 mail-in rebate on the EOS 5D Mark III ($2699 AR) and the EOS 6D ($1439 AR).

Finally, one oddity: the rebate form shows an increased rebate this month, from $300 to $350, on the PIXMA PRO-100 Printer + Paper. This makes the printer $48 AR at B&H or Adorama — but perhaps we’ll see a price drop before the month is up?



eBay Daily Deal: EOS-1D X for $4799 from GetItDigital (Import)


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from Get It Digital: They have the Canon EOS-1D X for $4799.99. This is the absolute lowest price that we’ve ever seen for this camera brand new.

Please note this is an import version, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store is providing a store 1-year warranty instead. They are a reputable unauthorized dealer with 99.1% positive feedback on high-value Canon items and a perfect track record on the 1D X.

Our street price is $6099 which is well above this price.
