Hot Deal, Lowest Ever: 5D Mark III Body Only $2695 at Amazon

Posted December 1, 2013 at 8:11 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 26 comments.

Hot Deal: Amazon has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2695.00. This is the new lowest authorized-dealer price for this body-only. We’d previously seen $2699 from Amazon and that price only lasted 7 hours.

They’re also giving away 4% rewards, a free camera bag, 8 GB CF card, and a battery. (From the Amazon 5D Mark III page click the link “Purchase This Camera and Take Advantage of the Following Promotion”.)

They also have the 5D Mark III Kit for $3349 but the Adorama bundle is a better deal at that price.

UPDATE: They’ve raised the price to $2799.
UPDATE 2: They’ve raised the price to $2899.
