Hot: Up to $150 Mail-in Rebate per Lens, Street Price Store Closures


The renewed and increased Canon USA mail-in rebate has been extremely popular, with a lot of orders being placed this week. You can now get up to $150 mail-in rebate per lens when you purchase 2 or more new lenses in the same transaction from a Canon USA authorized dealer.

Please note that many of our street price dealers (authorized Canon USA dealers) will be closed for a religious observance from Tuesday April 11th through Tuesday April 18th. Be sure to complete your order by Sunday April 9th to guarantee that your order can ship before the closures.

To take advantage of the mail-in rebate and get the lower “net price”, you must purchase TWO items from the below list in the same transaction.



Street Price Drops: 100-400L II for $1859, 35L II for $1559, and More


Our street prices have dropped on select lenses from Canon USA authorized dealers:

All items are brand new, carry a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and are eligible for the combo mail-in rebate if you purchase two lenses in the same transaction.

We also have an extra special street price on the EOS-1D X Mark II Premium Kit (free CFast 2.0 card and card reader). This one is slightly different from our regular street price so please inquire for more details.

Price Increase Coming on 11 Lenses with Instant Rebate Expiry Sunday


We now have confirmation from very reliable sources about an effective price increase coming on 11 Canon lenses this Sunday. The current instant savings will be renewed at a lower value for the below eleven lenses, resulting in an effective price increase. Also scheduled to expire is the Canon mail-in rebate on multiple lenses, unless renewed by Canon USA.

This price increase is expected as lenses are now at their lowest price point of the year (for the holiday season). We expect the the current instant savings to continue to reduce and disappear over the next few rebate periods. Now is the time to take advantage of what is historically the best pricing of the year.

The prices shown below are the CURRENT street prices for lenses, before the increase coming on Sunday. To receive the “net price” after mail-in rebate you must purchase two or more lenses in the same transaction.

Also consider the following bundles likely expiring with the instant rebate decrease:



Bundle Deals Still Live, including 70-200 II or 100-400 II $1649 AR


We’re very surprised to see many of the PIXMA PRO-100 printer bundle deals still live. These are incredible deals, after the Canon mail-in rebate; you get the 13-month Canon CarePAK Plus on the camera or lens, and a fantastic PIXMA PRO-100 printer. The printer can be parted and sold for about $140 on the secondary market.

The Canon mail-in rebate expires on December 31st, so we don’t know if these very popular deals will last much longer.
