Street Price Drop: 70-200 II $1849 AR, 24-70 II $1699 AR, 5D3 & 6D

Posted December 11, 2014 at 2:39 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 21 comments.

As a result of the recent and unexpected Canon price drop, we now have slightly lowered street prices. Note that we don’t see the same reduction in street price (as we did in the MAP, or Minimum Advertised Price), as street prices were already more closely aligned to the true product cost.

$150 Rebate on EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: Street price of $1849 AR
$150 Rebate on EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1699 AR
$300 Rebate on EOS 5D Mark III: Street price of $2469 AR
$300 Rebate on EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit: Street price of $3049 AR
$300 Rebate on EOS 6D: Street price of $1339 AR
$300 Rebate on EOS 6D with 24-105mm Kit: Street price of $1869 AR

The Canon Direct Store sale on refurbished lenses just restocked. They’re offering 15% off. See above for the most desirable items. See the refurbished stock tracker for all items in stock.

Many readers bought the item they wanted by setting an e-mail notification on a specific item, and they were notified within minutes when the restock happened at 11:00 AM ET. You can check out our e-mail notification system, which e-mails you the instant an item is in-stock below your target price (you can choose either brand new, or used/refurbished). We put together a new notification management page where you can see all your active notifications (and manage them from one convenient page).

It’s important to set notifications on specific items as these happen automatically when the restock happens. If you’re only notified on main-page blog posts, there is a slight delay as we have to create the blog post first — we’re fast, but as you can see it still takes a good ten minutes (after which the bulk of the desirable lenses are gone).

Cyber Monday Street Price Lenses, Special EF 16-35mm f/4L IS $999

Posted December 1, 2014 at 1:18 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 25 comments.

	EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Street Price	$1000.00 Deal Expired

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Street Price	$1679.00 Deal Expired

	EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Street Price	$1699.00 Deal Expired

Many body deals last weekend but no lens deals, let’s make one!

We’re pleased to announce a Cyber Monday street price special on the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM of $999.99 after the $100 mail-in rebate. This is $50 lower than our regular street price for this lens, and this price is only valid for the next 12 hours.

This ultra-wide angle zoom has been touted to be extraordinarily sharp in the corners, and is a great pair to a brand new full-frame body, if you picked one up recently.

We also have great street prices (but not specials) on other very popular lenses. We don’t expect any changes to the following prices today or this week.

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: Street price of $1899 AR
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1749 AR
EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM: Street price of $929 AR
EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM: Street price of $1759 AR
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1319 AR
EF 50mm f/1.2L USM: Street price of $1239 AR
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM: Street price of $629 AR
See all the street prices…

Many other sites are posting a “deal” of the 70-200mm II for $1899 from an unauthorized eBay dealer. We have the same price of $1899 from a reputable authorized dealer after the Canon rebate!

The Canon 20%-off refurbished sale ended with no restock of highly-desired lenses — those lenses already sell out quickly at full refurbished price, so we’re not surprised that Canon did not restock them during the sale.

If you are disappointed, luckily, we still have some great street prices available, brand new from authorized Canon dealers with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty, no tax to most states:

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II street price of $1899 AR (vs. MAP of $2149)
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM street price of $1749 AR (vs. MAP of $1949)
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM street price of $1049 AR (vs. MAP of $1099)
See all the street prices…

The street price on the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is especially popular as this is the first time the lens has gone on rebate. Again, we’re not expecting to see the Canon Minimum Advertised Price policy broken this year, so we don’t expect to see lower prices publicly shown on retailer’s websites.

We also continue to have two fantastic and popular body deals, and some grip specials, please inquire if interested.

EOS 5D Mark III street price of $2699 AR (vs. MAP of $3199)
EOS 6D street price of $1439 AR (vs. MAP of $1699)

The Canon Refurb Store started a small sale tonight. They are offering $50 off a purchase of $500 or more. (Now we know why they re-stocked earlier today!) This sale runs until October 14th.

See the discounted price in-cart, at checkout.

These prices were already quite good due to the recent price drops. Recall, all refurbished items come with a full 1-year Canon warranty.

Check out our refurb stock tracker for the full list of lenses in-stock.

If you already purchased earlier today, note the Canon Direct Store does not price adjust, we’d recommend re-buying and cancelling the original order if you want to ensure you get in on the deal.
