6th Ave via eBay is clearing out the EOS 7D: they have the Canon EOS 7D with EF-S 18-135 IS Kit for $1100.00.
They are not an authorized dealer, but this is a really good deal for the 7D: a brand new 18-135mm IS lens can easily sell for about $250 on the used market, netting you a 7D for $850. The camera is a bit older and due for replacement, but it is still a favorite for many, and this is an excellent price.
BuyDig via eBay has the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye for Canon for $199.99. This ties for the lowest price ever on this affordable and great value lens.
Note this isn’t the “HD” version so you won’t get a circular view with a full-frame camera as it is partially obstructed by the non-removable lens hood.
You can see some fun and creative photos taken with the 8mm f/3.5 fisheye in the Flickr group for this lens.
Adorama has the EOS 6D refurbished for $1299. Refurbished bodies come with a full 1-year Canon warranty.
This is a great price as this body is currently going for $1599 unauthorized or $1899 authorized (MAP). It is good to see that both refurbished deals and unauthorized deals still are live and well even with the new pricing policy.
[Update: Inventory is dropping fast. From about 32 when we first posted, to 25 as of now, one hour later.]
If you are interested in a brand new 1D-X at a great price (even better than the current $5699 unauthorized dealer price), please be sure to sign-up for a notification on our 1D-X page (click the ‘Notify’ button) before midnight Eastern Time tonight.
In general, sign-up for notifications on things that you are interested in and we can keep you up to date with the latest deals!
[UPDATE: Thank you for your interest in the group-buy — it is now closed, as the retailer is out of stock. This went really quickly — we filled up all the group buy slots within 45 minutes of the e-mail going out. There will be more group-buy opportunities on other items soon.]
The Canon Price List is a sea of red: a strict Minimum Advertised Price, or MAP, has been enforced on almost all bodies and lenses. It appears to be so strict that stores aren’t even allowed to use the old “add to cart” trick. Not a single store is less than full MAP, even in-cart or at checkout. This is exactly as we warned last week.
Again, MAP does not prevent a retailer from selling below the advertised price, but in our experience it does result in higher prices because stores are not actively competing against one another. We are waiting to see how this will play out, but so far, the strict adherence to this new policy is ominous.
Again if you’re interested in a specific item be sure to sign-up for a notification at a price that you’re interested in, we will continue to find ways to share the current price trends across the Canon market.
The Canon Direct Store sale, 20% off refurbished bodies, lenses, and flashes, was extended two days. It now ends on March 31st.
This gives us hope that there’ll be time for one more restock before the sale ends Monday night.
You can see what is currently in stock on the CanonPriceWatch Refurbished Stock Tracker, and set notifications to get e-mailed when things go back in stock.
Here are some of the best deals we’ve seen during this sale.
Another hot deal: Beach via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit for $1949.99. They’re also giving away a free copy of Lightroom 5 with purchase.
Beach Camera, also known as BuyDig, is an authorized Canon dealer.
This is $50 over the lowest $1899 deal a few days ago — but that deal sold out in 10 minutes. This one also comes with a free copy of Lightroom 5 which is worth the difference!
