To join the group buy, fill out the contact form on our group buy page, and we’ll get in touch with you!

UPDATE: There has been astounding interest in this — we’ll be closing the group buy at Monday noon. Please sign-up and place an order with the retailer before then. If you do not get an e-mail from us within a few hours of signing up, please feel free to contact us.

UPDATE 2: If you already placed an order, thanks! Please make sure you followed the instructions, and the store will send an invoice for payment close to when the order will ship, mid-March. I know this is a bit slower than usual but hopefully the savings are worth the little wait!

UPDATE 3: Due to extreme demand, there are now some items in this group buy that are back-ordered — the store will update the orders with the expected date when it’s known — please stay tuned, we should have more info by the end of the week. We’ve also now closed the signup.

All items are brand new from an authorized Canon dealer, and come with Canon USA warranty card. At this time we can’t reveal the name of the dealer, but they are reputable and we highly recommend them! The price includes shipping to the continental US (extra to rural areas). Tax will not be collected by the dealer for any US states.

Some other notes:

Quantities are limited on all items, this group-buy is first-come, first-serve.
The group buy will ship in mid-March — you won’t be billed until your order ships.
You don’t need to do a mail-in rebate!
But this also means the prices above are NOT eligible for any active Canon mail-in rebates.

To join the group buy, fill out the contact form on our group buy page, and we’ll get in touch with you!

Hot eBay Deal: EOS 5D Mark III Body for $2559 at 6ave via eBay

Posted March 6, 2014 at 3:48 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 10 comments.

EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera

$1374.95

Deal Active

6th Ave via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99.

They are not an authorized dealer, but are a quite reputable unauthorized dealer with 99%+ positive feedback. In previous sales they have sold a mix of both US models as well as grey market models.

This is part of an eBay deal frenzy! The previous Canon deal in the frenzy (6D + 24-105mm) sold out in 30 minutes.

Super Hot Deal: EOS 6D + 24-105mm for $1949 at BuyDig via eBay

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

Deal Expired

Really hot deal: BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit for $1949.99. They’re also throwing in a copy of Photoshop Elements 12!

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this body and lens combination, from an authorized dealer. This is part of an eBay deals frenzy! This will not last: Adorama had a similar deal a few weeks ago and it sold out within an hour.

The 24-105mm lens sells for $650 easily, so this is like getting a 6D body for only $1300.

UPDATE: 150 bodies sold — gone in 30 minutes! Here’s a link to the original sold-out listing. We sent e-mail notifications about this deal at 11:01 AM ET. To get notified if this deal comes back, click the notify button on the EOS 6D + 24-105mm listing page.

Hot: EOS 60D + 18-135mm + PIXMA PRO-100 for $699 AR at BuyDig

EOS 60D with 18-135 Kit + PIXMA PRO-100 Bundle

$799.00

Deal Expired

The EOS 60D clearance continues: BuyDig has a bundle of the EOS 60D with 18-135mm IS Kit, a PIXMA PRO-100 printer, memory, and bag for $699.00, after a $400 mail-in rebate.

As usual, their rebate calculation is wrong on their site: you are purchasing camera, printer, and paper, and thus are eligible for a $400 rebate (you can confirm with the rebate form.) Your price at checkout is $1099, which drops to $699 after the mail-in rebate.

This is a fantastic deal as the all-time lowest authorized dealer price we saw on the 60D new was $519 (holiday 2013); adding a printer and the 18-135mm IS lens for $180 is well worth it. This package is $100 cheaper than when it appeared at B&H on Black Friday weekend.

B&H Photo Video has the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT for $449.00, this is after a new $50 instant rebate. You also get 2% rewards.

The Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit dropped by $100 to $1649.00 and $2099.00 respectively. With the EOS 6D body, B&H is also giving 2% rewards, free SD card, bag, and battery.
