eBay Frenzy: 5D Mark III (Import) $2569 from GetItDigital

Posted September 2, 2014 at 11:17 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

Today’s eBay Frenzy deal is from Get It Digital via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2569.99.

Get It Digital via eBay is not an authorized dealer. They are likely selling import model 5D Mark III, where a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed: instead the store is providing a store warranty. The store has a feedback score of 99.3% when looking at high-end Canon items.

In the last sale they sold hundreds at this price; most of the feedback was good, but there was one negative report, where a reader was shipped a damaged Canon box (camera seems okay). If you are willing to take a (small) risk, this is a great way to get a 5D Mark III at a great price. Or you can consider our street price of $2699 brand new from an authorized Canon USA dealer with full Canon USA warranty, which is only $130 more.

The other frenzy deal today is the EOS 70D with 18-135 IS STM Kit for $1099 from BigValueInc.

EOS 6D Street Price: $2039 with 24-105mm, $2199 with 24-70 f/4L IS

	EOS 6D + EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Bundle	$2199.99 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D with 24-105mm f/4L Kit Street Price	$2040.00 Deal Expired

Thanks to the new mail-in rebate on EOS 6D and 5D Mark III we now have two additional great street prices from Canon USA authorized dealers.

The EOS 6D with 24-105mm f/4L IS is $2039.99 after the $200 mail-in rebate (you pay $2239.99 before rebate).

A more impressive deal is a bundle of the EOS 6D with 24-70mm f/4L IS for $2199.99 after a $450 mail-in rebate ($200 rebate on the EOS 6D and a $250 rebate for purchasing the 24-70mm f/4L IS bundled with the 6D). This is a great price as it’s only $700 on top of our already low body-only street price for this lens.

In addition to our body-only 5D Mark III street price of $2699 after rebate, we have a price on the 5D Mark III + 24-105mm: $3299 after rebate. These have been very popular with the new rebate!

All prices are brand new from Canon USA authorized dealers, have full 1-year Canon USA warranties and include free standard shipping and do not collect tax to most states — please contact us for details, or read more about street prices, or read testimonials from other readers. Lens street prices will be back soon.

Deal Expired

Today only: the Canon Direct Store has the refurbished EOS SL1 + 18-55mm IS STM for only $394.99. This is an amazing price for this camera and lens; it goes for $599 new.

You see this price in-cart (look at the subtotal, an additional discount is applied).

Also, they have the refurbished EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II for only $85 (see cart for discount). This is another great deal as the cheapest new from authorized dealers we’ve ever seen was $139.

Combine both items in cart to get an additional $20 off! $459.99, an incredible deal.

Also, thanks to the recent price drop there was a drop in the refurbished price for popular lenses:

EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM refurb is now $1679.20
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II refurb is now $1839.20
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM refurb is now $5279.20

These are the new regular refurbished prices — imagine what it’ll be at the next 15%-off refurb lens sale! All three are out of stock right now but set a notification if you’d like to catch this in-stock.

In the Canon world, many changes happened at midnight. Here is the summary of all the major Canon pricing changes:

A new mail-in rebate on full-frame bodies.
Permanent price drops on 26 Canon lenses.
- Now confirmed by a page at the Canon Direct Store. As of time of post they have a hilarious bug where everything currently has a price of $0.00. That’s right, free. Unfortunately everything is now out of stock. (Probably one of you readers!)
- The price drop also causes a refurbished price drop as well, as mentioned yesterday. Same price mistake bug on their site though, everything is free.
- Price drops have now happened at B&H and Adorama.
The July mail-in rebates on lenses expired.

We have street prices on the 5D Mark III and 6D of $2699 and $1449 respectively. For the lenses that have had price drops, we will need a few days to figure out the new street prices, please stay tuned.

It may take a few hours for stores to show the new pricing.

Breaking News: Canon Price Drop Tomorrow on 26 Lenses

Posted August 30, 2014 at 11:31 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 53 comments.

This is exciting: we have just now heard that Canon is instituting a “permanent” price drop on 26 lenses tomorrow, Sunday, August 31st.

If you bought a lens that was recently on rebate, don’t worry, you already got the better deal — for most lenses, the recent post-rebate prices were better than the new prices. For a couple lenses (notably the 24-70 II and 70-200 II) the price drop ($200) is equal to the rebate — effectively making it permanent. The best deals are on super-telephotos that weren’t on rebate — a $700 to $1000 price drop! You can see the full list below.

As for street prices? For lenses not currently on rebate, we expect street prices to drop! We will need a few days to get more clarity on what level the street prices will fall to, so we will disable street prices on all affected lenses. Please stay tuned, street prices will be back next week!

Another likely benefit of the price drop would be a reduction in the refurbished price, as refurbished prices are usually pegged at 80% of the MAP price.

A reminder, there is also a new mail-in rebate on 5D Mark III and 6D starting tomorrow. For the list of price drops (including both old and new MAP) please read more.
