This deal is back: BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2549.99. This is pretty close to the lowest price that we’ve seen from an unauthorized dealer, ever.

Compare with $3099 in an active B&H deal. Or, a fantastic deal at Adorama, $3999 for 5D3 + 24-105mm + Speedlite + a Pro-1 Pigment printer.

BigValueInc via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but the last few sales the vast majority of our readers report getting US model items. It is likely worth it for the large savings!

B&H Photo Video has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $3099.00. B&H is also offering a 4% reward (making your net $2975), as well as a free SanDisk 32GB, extra battery, and gadget bag. We’re also seeing the same price at Amazon (but with only a 2% reward).

UPDATE: You need to proceed to checkout to see the price.

This is the first substantive price drop on the 5D Mark III (from an authorized dealer) in a long time. It’s nice to see authorized dealer prices on this body on the move again.

Also discounted were the EOS 7D ($1299), EOS 7D with 18-135mm ($1599), and T5i with 18-55mm ($799).

BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2549.99. This is a return of the deal they had two weeks ago where they sold 500 bodies at this price.

BigValueInc are not authorized dealers. However, in the last sale, we heard from seven readers who purchased this: six reported getting a US model with US warranty card. One reported getting a Japanese warranty card. No other complaints were heard — $2549 is a great price, compare with $3349 at Amazon which is current lowest authorized dealer price. If you were one of the 500 who bought in the last sale, please leave a comment about your experiences and help your fellow readers out!

[UPDATE: 101 sold in 13 hours. Sold out.]
