EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

$659.99

Deal Expired

BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $659.99. This is the cheapest price that we’ve seen yet from an unauthorized dealer for this lens.

BigValueInc via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but the last few sales people have reported receiving US warranty items. These lenses were split from 5D Mark III kits that were featured in a $2549 deal yesterday (it appears to be still live, with over 300 sold). This is a great lens, especially if you picked up yesterday’s deal.

Refurbished PowerShot SX230 HS + Freebies for $97 at Canon Store

Refurbished PowerShot SX230 HS Point and Shoot Camera

$97.49

Deal Expired

This is a really good deal: The Canon Direct Store is offering 50% off a refurbished SX230HS. It is a steal at $97.49. You also get a free leather camera case as well as a free 4GB SD card. They’re also offering free shipping on a purchase of $100 — you can add a few dollars of filler items to get you there, and avoid the $11.99 shipping.

The SX230 HS is an older model but still an excellent camera — 12 megapixels, a wide-angle lens starting at 28mm equivalent, a 14x optical zoom taking you to 392mm, and support for up to ISO 3200. For a compact ultra-zoom camera, the price just can’t be beat!

They’re not an authorized dealer, but the last three sales they’ve done at this price our users have reported getting USA warranty bodies, and we’ve heard no complaints. This is a deal as other authorized dealers are selling this for $3499 (except B&H, which has a special deal going now for $3099).

UPDATE: This deal has been very popular — 284 were sold in 24 hours.

Canon’s Silent Labor Day Price Increase

Posted September 2, 2013 at 5:23 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 12 comments.

Those who watch Canon prices would have noticed a significant price increase Labor Day weekend. Most items did not change in price, but several of the popular high-end L lenses went up significantly (anywhere from 13%-18%). On average, lenses are 3.8% more expensive than they were last month. The following graph tracks the “EOS Lens Price Index”, which reflects the average trend in new lens pricing at authorized dealers:

Some of the largest price increases included:

EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM went from $1149 to $1349
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM went from $1399 to $1599
EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM went from $1899 to $2199
EF 17-40mm f/4L USM went from $739 to $839
EF 50mm f/1.2L USM went from $1439 to $1619

You can see the full list of increases on our Canon price list. Just scroll down and look for red.

It’s yet to be seen if this represents a new permanent price level or if it’s just Canon gearing up for a big “sale” in the coming fall and holiday months. What do you think is happening? Leave a comment with your interpretation!
