Amazon Double Dip is Back: 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699!


This deal is back: Amazon has the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699.00 (after $300 mail-in rebate).

This ties for the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens since its introduction. They’re also giving a 2% reward.

This hot deal was featured on Sunday and sold out in less than two hours. It’s back again now, and like last time, this price will not last long at all.

This is the latest in a series of double-dip deals where Amazon discounts the price by the amount of the active mail-in rebate, which effectively doubles the rebate.

UPDATE: As of 9 AM ET, now out of stock. But they’re still taking orders at this price, and will ship when stock is available.



5D Mark III + 24-105L + 600EX RT + Pro-1 for $3999 at Adorama


This is one incredible deal, but not for the faint of heart: Adorama has a bundle of the EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105 IS Kit, Speedlite 600EX-RT, and PIXMA PRO-1 for $3999.00, after a $300 mail-in rebate.

Note, that’s the professional-grade pigment PIXMA PRO-1 printer, which regularly retails for $999, not the PIXMA PRO-100 that normally accompanies these deals.

Click here to check out the deal at Adorama. This price is seen at checkout.

We estimate the total savings to be $1478.04 based on the lowest prices available:



EOS 70D + 18-55 IS + 55-250 IS + Pixma Pro-100 for $1198 at Adorama


Adorama has a bundle of the EOS 70D with 18-55 IS STM Kit, EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II, and PIXMA PRO-100 for $1198.00, after a $400 mail-in rebate.

Click here to check out the deal at Adorama.

IMPORTANT: To get the discount, take the following steps:

  1. Click here to go to Adorama
  2. Click on the link “Save up to $348.09 with bundle.”
  3. Select the combo that includes the PIXMA PRO-100, EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II
  4. Click “Add to Cart”

This is a great deal — we saw a similar deal last week for $1094 — without the 55-250 lens, which is easily worth more than $100.



EOS 5D Mark III Price Drop – $3099 at B&H


B&H Photo Video has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $3099.00. B&H is also offering a 4% reward (making your net $2975), as well as a free SanDisk 32GB, extra battery, and gadget bag. We’re also seeing the same price at Amazon (but with only a 2% reward).

UPDATE: You need to proceed to checkout to see the price.

This is the first substantive price drop on the 5D Mark III (from an authorized dealer) in a long time. It’s nice to see authorized dealer prices on this body on the move again.

Also discounted were the EOS 7D ($1299), EOS 7D with 18-135mm ($1599), and T5i with 18-55mm ($799).



Super Hot Amazon Double Dip: 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699!


Amazon has the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699.00 (after $300 mail-in rebate). This is the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens. They’re also giving a 2% reward.

This is the latest in a series of double-dip deals that Amazon has been running for the last few weeks. If past double-dip deals are any indication, this price won’t last longer than a few hours.

I’ll also say that I’ve been predicting this deal for the last couple of weeks!

UPDATE: Sold out in 2 hours — these deals never last more than a few hours. Price is back up to $1999. Congrats if you got in on the deal!



Amazon Double Dip: TS-E 45mm f/2.8 for $1199 After Rebate


Every weekend, Amazon has been having double-dip sales, where they lower the price on a different Canon lens for a day, effectively doubling the currently running rebate.

Today they have the Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 tilt-shift lens for $1199.00 (after a $100 mail-in rebate). Every other store is currently pricing it at $1299 after rebate.

So far they’ve done this for the 35L, the 17-40L, 135L, and the 300mm f/4L.

We’re still waiting for them to double-dip by $300 on the 24-70L II or one of the popular 70-200L lenses.
