Hot Deal: EOS 6D Refurbished for $1289 at Adorama


Hot deal: Adorama has the EOS 6D refurbished for $1289, with free shipping.

This is as good a deal as the 6D Refurbished for $1215 that we saw a few months ago, especially as Adorama doesn’t charge tax to most states.

One thing to note is Adorama lists a 90-day warranty, however our readers report receiving a Canon USA 1-year warranty in the box; you may want to confirm with Adorama about the warranty.



Canon Refurbished Sale Tonight: Up to 40% off Cameras & Camcorders

The last two weeks, the Canon Direct Store store has been advertising a “12 Days of Christmas” sale, and tomorrow was supposedly “Up to 40% off Refurbished Products”.

We now have more details: it is “Up to 40% off select Refurbished Digital Cameras and Camcorders”. There are images of DSLRs in the promotion so we expect that some refurbished DSLR bodies will be also discounted, but are unsure of which ones at this time.

UPDATE: The sale has started and it’s extremely poor! Just 10% off the 60D, T5i and SL1, and 15% off the 7D, T3i, T4i, and T3. You can do better than that, Canon!

We’re hoping that we see the EOS 6D for $1215 (if 20% off), or the EOS 60D for $460 (if 20% off), like seen in previous sales.

The sale begins tonight at midnight ET. We’ll make a post then about what’s on sale; we’re also eager to see if refurbished lenses or speedlites will be going on sale too. Refurbished lens inventory is building up so the next sale can’t be too far away.

Add to cart to see the discount.

This lens is also a favorite amongst architecture and landscape photographers, you can see great sample photos from this lens in the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Flickr pool.
