Bundle Deals Live Again, including 70-200 II $1649 AR


If you missed out on the 70-200 II printer bundle deal at Adorama (it went up to $1699 AR on January 1st) — you get a second chance, BuyDig still has the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II + PIXMA PRO-100 for $1649 AR (use coupon TMAFPRO216217 to see $1899 in-cart, then get $250 MIR).

We’re moderately surprised to see many of the PIXMA PRO-100 printer bundle deals still live. As expected, the PIXMA PRO printer rebate was renewed with a new rebate period of January 1st – January 31st. As it was renewed with a new promotion ID, this “resets” your eligibility and you can take advantage of an additional printer or printer bundle deal during January (even if you purchased one during November or December.) The printer can be parted and sold for about $140 on the secondary market.

This gives a fresh opportunity to take advantage of one of the existing printer bundle deals.



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.

CPW December Street Price Sale — Did You Miss Black Friday?


We’re pleased to launch our blockbuster December Street Price sale. First, we’ve brought back our Black Friday prices from Canon USA dealers (and in a few cases, we’ve even beat the prices.)
