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

Authorized Canon dealer Beach Camera via eBay has the refurbished Canon EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Kit for $1899.99. You also get a free copy of Lightroom 5!

They are an authorized dealer (also known as BuyDig) so this comes (like all refurbs) with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

This is a good deal as it’s equivalent to buying a Canon EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Kit refurbished from the Canon Direct Store at 22% discount, and tax is only charged to NJ.

The last few days have had great Canon deals, including the 15%-off refurbished lens sale, and we expect more deals through the weekend — please stay tuned.

EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera

Deal Active

[UPDATE: This deal is now happening on Thursday.]

We’ve been told of a deal coming tomorrow, Wednesday April 23rd, on the 5D Mark III at a major unauthorized dealer — we are told the price is to be “less than $2600”.

Our guess is it’s part of the current eBay Deal Frenzy but we can’t confirm at this time. Please check back tomorrow, or get notified when the deal starts via an e-mail; click the notify button on the 5D Mark III page to sign-up.

It’s good to see that recent MAP policy changes aren’t affecting the prices at unauthorized dealers.

EOS-1D X for $5599 from Get It Digital via eBay

Posted April 22, 2014 at 8:24 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

EOS-1D X Digital SLR Camera

$4299.99

Deal Expired

Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS-1D X for $5599.99 — a $100 price drop from last week. They only have three at this price.

They are not an authorized dealer, but are a very trusted unauthorized dealer with a history of delivering (no bait & switch or up-sell). You can read our article for an explanation of authorized vs. unauthorized dealers.

This is a tiny bit above the price of our authorized dealer group buy — but that was limited quantity, sold out in 30 minutes, and the store isn’t getting more at that price. Sorry if you missed that, but this is a reasonable alternative!

Lensbaby 5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye for Crop Sensors Announced

Posted April 18, 2014 at 11:34 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 3 comments.

	5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye for Canon EF Wide Angle Lens	$299.95 Pre-Order

	5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye for Canon EF Wide Angle Lens	$299.93 Pre-Order

	5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye for Canon EF Wide Angle Lens	$249.95 Pre-Order

This new lens was overshadowed last week by the Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4, but is worth re-highlighting: we are now tracking the new Lensbaby 5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye. It’s available for pre-order for $299.95 at B&H, Amazon or Adorama. Availability is mid-May.

We think this will be popular, as up until now the only true circular fisheye option available for crop bodies was the Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 DC, at whopping $900 price tag. This new Lensbaby lens provides a true circular frame of view on a crop-sensor body (sample below) and is one third of the price. It’s a good alternative to the similarly priced Rokinon 8mm fisheye which doesn’t provide a circular view on crop-bodies.
