Street Price Special: 5D Mark III + BG-E11 $2849 (or Body Only $2699)

Posted July 8, 2014 at 1:42 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 3 comments.

A very limited quantity street price special: a EOS 5D Mark III + a genuine Canon BG-E11 battery grip for only $2849, from an authorized dealer with full Canon USA warranty. No tax to all states, and free standard shipping.

The grip deal is really hot, because it’s only $150 more than the already fantastic $2699 body-only street price (after the $200 MIR). The BG-E11 battery grip goes for $275 at other authorized dealers.

If you really don’t want a battery grip, the EOS 5D Mark III is still at a street price of $2699 after the $200 Canon MIR.

EF 24-105mm f/4L IS for $639 Unauth eBay or $659 Street Price

EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

$639.99

Deal Expired

eBay Daily Deal: 6th Ave via eBay has the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $639.99. They are not an authorized dealer, but a reputable unauthorized dealer. These are brand new, likely import (i.e. store warranty), and “white box” (split from a 5D Mark III or 6D kit). But otherwise a great deal!

If you’d rather something from an authorized dealer with full Canon USA warranty, for only $20 more there is a street price of $659 brand new from an authorized dealer, free shipping and no tax collected. It’s also a white box lens. Here’s our FAQ about street prices.

EOS 7D for $999, with 28-135mm $1099, is a 7D Mark II Coming?

	EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera	$ Deal Expired

	EOS 7D with 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Kit Digital SLR Camera	$1099.00 Deal Expired

This weekend we saw a massive price drop for the Canon EOS 7D to $999.00 body only, which finally brings the new price more in-line with what the used market has been pricing this camera at.

The most overlooked deal is the Canon EOS 7D with 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Kit for only $1099.00. The lens regularly sells used for about $200 so this puts you sub-$900 for a brand new 7D, especially as B&H is throwing in 2% rewards.

This begs the question: is a 7D Mark II finally coming? Five years ago, when the 7D was first released, it made sense; but with the advent of $1500 full-frame cameras and a fantastic $1000 70D there’s no room in the current line-up for a high-end APS-C to differentiate — unless, of course, Canon really steps up with game-changing auto-focus and frame-rate. Eagerly awaiting their next step.

Hot: EOS 6D Body for $1399 (Import) eBay, or $1499 Street Price

	EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera	$944.95 Deal Expired

	EOS 6D Street Price	$1500.00 Deal Expired

eBay Daily Deal: 6th Ave via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D for $1399.99. This is the lowest price we’ve seen body only for a brand new EOS 6D in the last 6 months.

Please note that 6ave is not an authorized dealer. They are an unauthorized dealer, and the listing clearly indicates that this may be an import body. Import bodies are physically identical, the only difference is a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed; the store provides a one-year store warranty. We haven’t heard any recent reader complaints about this retailer, they have a 99.2% positive feedback rating. You also get the usual eBay, PayPal, and credit card buyer protection.

If the idea of a grey market / import body doesn’t appeal to you, we also now have a price drop on the Canon EOS 6D Street Price to $1499 after $200 mail-in rebate from an authorized dealer. Compare with $1699 (after same rebate) from other authorized dealers.

EF 85mm f/1.8 USM for $299 BuyDig eBay (Likely Not “Refurbished”)

Posted July 5, 2014 at 12:12 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 12 comments.

Refurbished EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Standard Lens

$369.00

Deal Expired

Another sneaky listing from BuyDig via eBay? They have the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM “manufacturer refurbished” for $299.99.

But the listing details give the catalog number as CN85USM, and the part number as 2519A003. The catalog number matches the brand new item on BuyDig’s site, and the part number is also the brand new part number (refurbished part is 2519A007, for your reference).

We think this is yet another “refurbished” sale where they are shipping new items — $299 would be the lowest price ever seen for a new EF 85mm f/1.8 USM from an authorized dealer. BuyDig only collects sales tax to NJ. The $50 instant rebate on the lens is likely converted to a mail-in rebate tonight.

Hot: EOS 70D for $849 BuyDig via eBay (Likely Not “Refurbished”)

Posted July 5, 2014 at 11:50 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 14 comments.

EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera

$825.00

Deal Expired

Hot: BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EOS 70D for $849.99. The listing subtitle says “Refurbished”, but the part number (8469B002), catalog number (CNEOS70D), and listing description all say “brand new”. Our guess is this is similar to the deal where they listed 6D + 24-105mm as “refurbished” but ended up shipping brand new kits to everyone!

UPDATE: It looks like the listing is updated to note “refurbished”, but there are still discrepancies with the part number and catalog number…

Expect refurbished, and you will be pleased if you receive a brand new body. If brand new, this is the absolute lowest price we’ve seen it ever! (They’re an authorized dealer.)

We also expect today is the day to purchase this as the current $200 instant rebate is subject to change at the end of the day. This is a fantastic deal, it’s $150 lower than other authorized dealers and $90 lower than our street price!
