eBay Deal Frenzy: 5D Mark III Import — $2559 from AllNewShop


AllNewShop via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99. It’s clearly marked as an import model. This is part of the on-going eBay Deal Frenzy.

UPDATE: The retailer has now added a free 3-year store warranty with purchase.

AllNewShop via eBay is not an authorized dealer. However, they are a very reputable unauthorized dealer, the same store as Get It Digital. A few weeks ago they sold 355 copies of the 5D Mark IIIs for the same price, and looking at their eBay feedback for that specific deal the experience was very positive. We didn’t hear any reader complaints.

If you don’t want to read our detailed article here is the summary of what “import model” means:

  1. Import / grey market items were items originally destined to be sold in a different region.
  2. They are manufactured at the same factories as US models, and are physically identical.
  3. Packaging (language on box) may differ from US retail versions.
  4. Although Canon USA has been traditionally lenient in providing warranty service, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed. An equivalent warranty is provided by the store itself.

Compare with $3199 at authorized dealers or $2859 authorized through our street price program.



eBay Frenzy: 5D Mark III $2559 — Now With Free 3 Year Warranty


AllNewShop via eBay must not have been selling many Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99 (import version) so they’ve now added a Free 3-Year Extended Warranty to their deal. This is part of the on-going eBay Deal Frenzy!

AllNewShop via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but they are one of the most reliable unauthorized dealers — they’re the same company as Get It Digital, and their new additional extended warranty actually looks pretty decent. They claim their warranty is serviced at authorized repair centers only, no hidden fees, can be even serviced overseas, and even comes with a free annual cleaning.

Again, the bodies in today’s sale are import versions as they clearly write in the listing description. As usual you can read our explanation of authorized, unauthorized, and grey market.

If you bought yesterday before the listing was changed you may want to ask if you can also get the 3-year warranty added for free too!



eBay Frenzy: 5D Mark III $2559 Import at AllNewShop (a.k.a. GetItDigital)


AllNewShop via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99. This deal is back, as part of an eBay Deal Frenzy!

AllNewShop via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but they are one of the most reliable unauthorized dealers — they’re the same company as Get It Digital.

The retailer has let us know that the bodies in today’s sale are import versions (not USA model like their last sale, too bad!) but they are still covered at a minimum by a store warranty for 12 months. They explicitly and clearly write this in the listing description as well. As usual you can read our explanation of authorized, unauthorized, and grey market.



Three 5D Mark III Deals from US Authorized Dealers


Beach Camera via eBay has a bundle of the EOS 5D Mark III, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, and BG-E11 Battery Grip for 5D Mark III for $3299.00, after a $200 mail-in rebate.

This is a fantastic deal; if you conservatively value the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM at $300, and the BG-E11 Battery Grip for 5D Mark III at $250 (both below current new prices) this is like getting a 5D Mark III brand-new from an authorized dealer for only $2750.

If you’re not interested in the extras we have two street prices available:

Both prices include shipping, are after rebate, and are US model from US authorized dealers. For the street prices, fill out the contact form in the yellow box on the product page.

Deal Coming: 5D Mark III New for Sub-$2600 at Unauthorized Dealer


[UPDATE: This deal is now happening on Thursday.]

We’ve been told of a deal coming tomorrow, Wednesday April 23rd, on the 5D Mark III at a major unauthorized dealer — we are told the price is to be “less than $2600”.

Our guess is it’s part of the current eBay Deal Frenzy but we can’t confirm at this time. Please check back tomorrow, or get notified when the deal starts via an e-mail; click the notify button on the 5D Mark III page to sign-up.

It’s good to see that recent MAP policy changes aren’t affecting the prices at unauthorized dealers.
