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!

The last day for purchases eligible for the Canon Mail-in Rebate is tomorrow, Saturday March 29th. We’ve highlighted above our favorite deals in this rebate period. Those deals above are at or close to the low prices that we saw during the November 2013 holiday season.
Here is the list of all lenses on rebate, and their after rebate prices:
Here’s a link to the mail-in rebate form. Just like previous rebates, the rebate is given in the form of an AMEX gift card, which can be refunded to a check on demand. Recent Canon mail-in rebates have been highly reliable.
Unfortunately, we can now confirm the price change rumor we posted earlier this week. Canon will strictly enforce their “Minimum Advertised Price”, or MAP, starting April. We expect to see the listed price at all stores go up to MAP. We’re told that the usual “add to cart” trick will not be permitted.
This would explain the recent spike in great deals as stores rush to clear inventory at low prices.
MAP does not prevent a retailer from selling below the advertised price. However, in our experience, it keeps prices high as retailers are not openly offering deals and competing against one another.
This is the third attempt at MAP enforcement from Canon. The previous two lasted several months each, with good deals being extremely rare during those periods. We don’t know how long this new strict MAP enforcement will last.
At this time we recommend purchasing at the current low after-rebate, refurb, or deal prices.
Authorized Canon Dealer Focuscamera via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III body for $2675.00. They are also giving away a free copy of Adobe Lightroom 5 with purchase!
This ties for the lowest authorized dealer price ever seen for this full-frame camera body.
Compare with other authorized dealers selling this for $3059. The previous lowest-ever authorized dealer price was $2677 at Amazon on October 24th, 2013, which had this price for only 20 minutes.
Shipping is free and Focuscamera via eBay does not charge sales tax (except to NY and NJ). They are an authorized dealer with 99%+ feedback so we don’t expect any problems at all with this transaction.
Quantities are limited and at this price we expect this to sell out.
[UPDATE 2: This deal started. Authorized Canon Dealer Focuscamera via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III body for $2675.00. They are also giving away a free copy of Adobe Lightroom 5 with purchase!]
I don’t normally post rumors of upcoming deals, but this one is quite hot: I have been told by a very good source that we should expect a deal tomorrow (Wednesday) on the 5D Mark III from an authorized dealer, “at a new lowest-ever authorized dealer price”. The lowest ever authorized dealer price to date was $2677 at Amazon on October 24th, 2013.
[UPDATE: I’m now told by someone else that it’ll be close to the previous low of $2677 but have a very good free item thrown in. $2677 is very good compared to current best prices of $3059.]
If you’re looking for a 5D Mark III, be on the lookout for this one. I’m told quantities will be limited and it will likely sell out quickly. You can get notified when the deal starts via an e-mail notification; click the notify button on the 5D Mark III page.
Again, this is a credible source, but still a rumor; take this with a grain of salt. We will know for sure by the end of Wednesday!
Adorama has the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699.00, after a $200 mail-in rebate.
This is more than double dip! You see the price of $1899 in cart, Adorama is applying a $300 instant-savings.
[UPDATE: This lasted all of 90 minutes.]
Super Hot: Adorama via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit for $1899.99.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen from an authorized dealer for this combo, and will certainly sell out within the hour. This is part of eBay’s Super Deal Frenzy going on this week.
They had this yesterday for about 10 minutes before it disappeared, causing us to speculate that yesterday’s listing was jumping the gun. Is this the real deal?
Here’s a screenshot of the price in-cart:
