eBay Daily Deal: EOS M + 22mm for $249 at 6ave


Today’s eBay Daily deal is from 6th Ave via eBay. They have the Canon EOS M with 22mm Kit for $249.99, your choice of color (red, black, white, or silver). They previously cleared out the EOS M + 18-55mm for a similar price, selling over 800. They are not an authorized dealer.

UPDATE: There are a lot of useful comments from readers who purchased this camera in the previous sale. At a $249 price point this is a great little camera.

The other eBay Daily deal is the 5D Mark III + 24-105mm for $3299 from unauthorized dealer GetItDigital, but that’s not a great deal as we have a authorized dealer street price for the same price (after a $200 mail-in rebate).




eBay Daily Deal: EOS 70D + 18-135 IS STM for $1099 (Import) at 6ave


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from 6th Ave via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 70D with 18-135 IS STM Kit for $1099.99.

The usual warnings apply. 6th Ave via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but they’re a reputable unauthorized dealer. They state on the listing that it’s an import version, so a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed. However this is an excellent price as it’s $200 lower than our already low street price of $1299 and $350 lower than all other authorized dealers.



Amazon Lightning Deal: Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye for $199


Amazon has the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye for Canon for $199.00. This is the newer “HD” version of this popular lens, which features a detachable lens hood for full-frame shooters to get the widest field of view — close to, but not quite circular.

You can see some fun and creative photos taken with the 8mm f/3.5 fisheye in the Flickr group for this lens.

This is a Amazon Lightning Deal that expires at 3 PM ET.



Amazon Lightning Deal: Samyang 16mm f/2 for $319


Amazon has the Samyang 16mm f/2.0 (another branding of the Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS) for $319.00.

This is a popular value manual-focus wide-angle lens for crop sensors. You can see sample images in the flickr group for this lens.

This lightning deal only runs for 4 hours (until 2 PM ET, or until sold out).



Refurb Store: 40% off EOS 7D ($719) & EOS 7D + 18-135 ($863)


The Canon Direct Store started a sale on the refurbished EOS 7D. They’re offering 40% off the 7D and its kits.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on a refurbished 7D. A sure sign a replacement is on its way!



Reminder: Mail-in Rebate Submission Deadline in One Week

A reminder: if you bought a camera or lens during the mail-in rebate period ended July 5th, your deadline for submitting the rebate is coming up — August 2nd.

If you bought a printer during the mail-in rebate period ended June 30th, the deadline is even sooner, July 30th.

The number one reason why people don’t get their rebate is: they forget to submit it! Please don’t let it happen to you.

If you’ve already submitted but haven’t heard back yet, now might also be a good time to check your rebate status. Most rebates are paid out in three weeks or less. It was also possible to refund the AMEX card to a check or ACH to a bank account. (Can anyone who has done this recently please confirm?) For that tip and more you can check out our write-up last year on tips & tricks for the mail-in rebate.



eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D (Import) for $1399 at GetItDigital


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from Get It Digital via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 6D for $1399.99. Note they’re not an authorized dealer, but are a reputable unauthorized dealer. They also clearly note that this is an import model; a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store is providing a three-year store warranty.

If you’re not interested in import model / grey market, you can also consider the street price of $1499 after rebate (US model, US warranty) from an authorized dealer. BuyDig also has this price after-rebate as part of a PIXMA PRO-100 printer bundle.
