More Details about the New Canon Mail-in Rebate

by . 0 comments.

We’ve been told a few more details about the new Canon mail-in rebate, to begin on Sunday, July 6th, replacing the currently available rebates.

  • 41 lenses with mail-in rebates available.
  • Confirmation that most lenses have had their rebates reduced by $50 or $100, so effectively a price increase.
  • Most current instant rebates have been unfortunately converted to mail-in rebates. This includes a $200 rebate (currently instant) on the EOS 6D.
  • The 5D Mark III will keep its $200 mail-in rebate for four more weeks.
  • The PIXMA PRO printer rebates (which expired on June 30th) will be back. The 5D Mark III is an eligible body once again for getting the $400 combination rebate.

Orders placed on or before July 5th will still be eligible for the current (and larger) mail-in rebates. Orders placed on or after July 6th are only eligible for the new mail-in rebates.

Happy 4th of July!


Hot: Spyder4Pro Color Calibration for $99 at B&H

Spyder4Pro Color Calibration
$99.00
Deal Expired

B&H Photo Video has the Datacolor Spyder4Pro for only $99.00.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, and $50 lower than all other dealers! A fantastic deal if you’re still looking for a color calibration device.

Many photographers prefer the Spyder4Pro over the lower-end Spyder4Express due to support for more gamma settings, temperature settings, and the ability to measure ambient light and adjust.

The current Canon Mail-in Rebates are set to end this week; they’re only valid for purchases through Saturday, July 5th, at US Canon authorized dealers.

We can confirm that a new set of mail-in rebates will begin on Sunday — however, most lens rebate values will be lowered, and some rebates eliminated altogether, which will effectively increase the final price. Specifically, some of the most popular items will see a significant change to the rebate:

In summary, if you are considering a purchase in the short term, now would be the time (take a look at our street prices). Based on historical data, we expect the next opportunity for large rebates will be in the fall, the ramp-up to the Holiday season. We must caution that given Canon’s success in strictly enforcing MAP for three months now, we think it’s unlikely to see a repeat of last year’s double-dip frenzy.

The Canon Direct Store sale on refurbished lenses, speedlites, and EOS bodies just had another limited restock. They’re offering $125 off a purchase of $500, $50 off a purchase of $250. On a $500 item, that is up to 25% off. Add to cart to see the discount.

This sale is best on items that are just over $500 or $250. Many items got restocked, but very few copies got restocked. As usual, check out our refurbished stock tracker to see what’s available, and set notifications to get e-mailed when items are back in-stock.
