It’s been two days since Canon started a mail-in rebate on 27 lenses. Thus far, the most popular street price lens deals in the new rebate have been the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1949 AR and the 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1799 AR.

The rebate also renewed the $200 mail-in rebate on the EOS 5D Mark III ($2699 AR) and the EOS 6D ($1439 AR).

Finally, one oddity: the rebate form shows an increased rebate this month, from $300 to $350, on the PIXMA PRO-100 Printer + Paper. This makes the printer $48 AR at B&H or Adorama — but perhaps we’ll see a price drop before the month is up?

Canon Rebates End This Week — Lens Prices Going Up

Posted June 30, 2014 at 4:51 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 5 comments.

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Street Price	$2000.00 Deal Expired

	EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Street Price	$1800.00 Deal Expired

The current Canon Mail-in Rebates are set to end this week; they’re only valid for purchases through Saturday, July 5th, at US Canon authorized dealers.

We can confirm that a new set of mail-in rebates will begin on Sunday — however, most lens rebate values will be lowered, and some rebates eliminated altogether, which will effectively increase the final price. Specifically, some of the most popular items will see a significant change to the rebate:

The 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II rebate goes from $300 to $200 (current street price is $1999 AR)
The 24-70mm f/2.8 II rebate goes from $300 to $200 (current street price is $1799 AR)
The 6D + 24-105 $200 instant rebate becomes a $200 mail-in rebate (street price is $2099 AR)

In summary, if you are considering a purchase in the short term, now would be the time (take a look at our street prices). Based on historical data, we expect the next opportunity for large rebates will be in the fall, the ramp-up to the Holiday season. We must caution that given Canon’s success in strictly enforcing MAP for three months now, we think it’s unlikely to see a repeat of last year’s double-dip frenzy.
