eBay Frenzy: 5D Mark III (Import) for $2559 at GetItDigital

Posted August 11, 2014 at 11:05 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 1 comment.

A new eBay Deal Frenzy starts today! GetItDigital via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99. It’s likely an import.

GetItDigital via eBay is not an authorized dealer. However, they are a reputable unauthorized dealer, the same store as AllNewShop. In the last few frenzies they’ve sold hundreds of 5D Mark IIIs for this price, and we’ve heard very positive reader stories (with issues being rare and resolved expediently).

If you don’t want to read our detailed article here is the summary of what “import model” means:

Import / grey market items were items originally destined to be sold in a different region.
They are manufactured at the same factories as US models, and are physically identical.
Packaging (language on box) may differ from US retail versions.
Although Canon USA has been traditionally lenient in providing warranty service, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed. An similar warranty is provided by the store itself.

Compare with $3199 at authorized dealers or $2899 authorized through our street price program. There is currently no Canon mail-in or instant rebate available for this camera.

They have the refurbished SL1 for $359.99 (after 25% off) and the 40mm Pancake for $111.99 (after 30% off). That makes a great light-weight walk-around kit.

If the past is any indication, the restock will likely be in the afternoon (ET).

Last Few Big White Deals — 500mm II $8999, 200-400 $10499

Posted August 5, 2014 at 12:29 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

	EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Street Price	$9000.00 Deal Expired

	EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Street Price	$10500.00 Deal Expired

It’s not really a secret anymore: many photographers have been taking advantage of super-low super-telephoto prices from Canada over the last 6 months, but not for much longer.

In early 2014, a weakening of the Canadian dollar vs. the US dollar meant you could buy super-telephotos from Canada for thousands of dollars less. The best part is: Canadian lenses come with a “Canon USA and Canada” warranty card, and are eligible for warranty service in both countries, making it a great deal.

Unfortunately this party is being shutdown: our friends to the north at Canon Canada have instituted a large price increase — 15% overnight — as well as a new MAP policy on super-telephoto lenses.

Sadly, street prices have already started to rise from lows we saw in March. We know of a few remaining great deals on super-telephotos, but only while quantities last:

EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM for $8999 (compare with $10499)
EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x for $10499 (compare with $11799)

Hot: eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D + 24-105mm (Import) from Get It Digital

Posted August 4, 2014 at 12:15 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 8 comments.

EOS 6D with 24-105mm f/4L Kit Digital SLR Camera

$1804.99

Deal Expired

Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105mm Kit for $1929.99. This is today’s eBay Daily Deal.

Get It Digital via eBay are not an authorized dealer, but a reputable unauthorized dealer.

This is an import version, but it is physically identical to the US model (readers have let me know that the store indicates this includes WiFi and GPS, but if you want to be 100% certain ask the store yourself). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store is providing a three-year store warranty.

This is $100 less than our authorized dealer street price of $2039 that expired on Sunday (the Canon mail-in rebate expired). The current best authorized dealer street price is $2229.

Warning: eBay Seller “deals-all-year” Formerly Known as Ryther Camera

Posted August 2, 2014 at 1:37 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch.

Many other sites are featuring a deal from a relatively new eBay merchant deals-all-year, their eBay daily deal is a EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $639.99. We have been asked many times today, are they reputable? Who are they?

A quick check of their eBay ID history (eBay account required) shows they were “rythercamera” and recently renamed themselves. Read more about Ryther here, here, or here.

Although this new eBay store has good feedback thus far (perhaps they are turning over a new leaf?), we think it’s still too early and we cannot recommend this store at this time.

UPDATE (August 2016): It has been two years since deals-all-year has appeared on eBay and we have re-reviewed their reputation. Based on the strong positive feedback (99.9%) from the last two years, we have reversed our decision and now choose to list this store with the other reputable merchants on our site. We always recommend making grey market purchases through a platform such as eBay, where you can leverage both eBay and PayPal protection on your purchases.
