EOS M with 22mm for $311 at B&H, Free Shipping

EOS M with 22mm Kit (Black) Mirrorless Camera

$311.00

Deal Expired

If you still don’t have an EOS M, B&H Photo Video has the Canon EOS M with 22mm Kit (Black) for $311.00. According to the B&H site, this is for a US model, not an import version.

This is a bit more expensive than the eBay unauthorized dealer deal a few weeks ago. However, that was an import model from an unauthorized dealer, and this is a US model from B&H.

This price is $89 less than other authorized dealers.

$1817.58

Deal Expired

Another deal in the on-going eBay Deal Frenzy starts today! BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105mm Kit for $1899.99. This is an import model but the listing says it comes with built-in GPS and WiFi just like the US model.

BigValueInc via eBay is a quite reliable and reputable unauthorized dealer who has been selling these cameras at low prices for the last couple years with few complaints heard from our readers. A Canon warranty is not guaranteed so the store is providing a store warranty.

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

EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera

$2259.99

Deal Expired

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.

Canon Refurb Store: SL1 for $359, Pancake for $111

Posted August 6, 2014 at 8:00 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 12 comments.

	Refurbished EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Camera	$359.99 Deal Expired

	Refurbished EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Standard Lens	$111.99 Deal Expired

While we wait for a Canon Direct Store re-stock on refurbished lenses, a few other good refurbished deals:

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.

As for refurbished lens restocks? This sale doesn’t end until August 16th. We are expecting one, maybe even two good restocks during this time. If the past is any indication, the restock will likely be in the afternoon (ET). As items will generally sell out within minutes (it’s quite impressive to watch), the absolutely best way to get in on a restock is via e-mail notification on a specific item.

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)
