Street Prices on Lenses Expected to Go Up at End of Week


As previously mentioned, Canon instant rebate program in the USA ended last week with no renewal. We had street prices available at the “old prices”, but we now expect those prices to expire at the end of the week. We expect that prices will temporarily go up for a short time, before coming back down in the build-up to Black Friday sales.

Street prices still available (this week only):



Massive Price Increase Overnight, Some Street Prices Still Available


Canon’s current instant rebate program ended last night with no renewal. As a result we saw a massive price increase — up to $300 on lenses and up to $500 on bodies — including a $400 increase on both the 5D Mark IV and 6D Mark II.

Many stores are closed for the next week, which makes good timing for this price increase. Once the stores re-open, we expect that the instant rebates will come back gradually, in a build-up to the Black Friday sales.

We still have a few street prices available at the “old prices” but only for a limited amount of time.

Street prices still available:
