EOS 5Ds Street Price from Authorized Canon USA Dealer


We now have a street price on the EOS 5Ds from a Canon USA authorized dealer, including a 1-year Canon USA warranty. If you are interested, please fill out the EOS 5Ds street price form for more details.

We don’t have a street price on the EOS 5Ds R at this time, as it is still out-of-stock at many retailers. It appears as though Canon has mispredicted the demand between these two cameras. While the EOS 5Ds R is out-of-stock, a nice supply of the less expensive EOS 5Ds is available, thus the street price.

Our street price also stacks with the double mail-in-rebate launch promotion for the new cameras.



EOS 5Ds Now In-Stock at B&H, Amazon; New Combo Mail-in Rebate


B&H Photo Video now has the Canon EOS 5Ds in-stock at $3699.00 — their site lists it as available to ship tomorrow (Monday). They’re also offering a 2% reward. Amazon is also showing it in-stock.

There’s also a new stackable mail-in rebate: when you purchase lenses at the same time as the EOS 5Ds, you can effectively double the existing rebate. You can find the rebate form here. It clearly says that this new offer “may be combined with other Canon promotional offers running concurrently”.

You are eligible for the double mail-in rebate with purchases at street price, please inquire for details.



EOS 5DS and 5DS R: Now Available to Pre-Order


The 50MP EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R are now available to pre-order at most major camera stores:

Availability is scheduled for the end of June.

Savvy readers have noticed that Camera Canada, an authorized Canon Canada dealer, has excellent pre-order pricing. After adding shipping (about $40) and converting to USD at current exchange rates, the final price is about $350-$400 less than the US dealer price, about a 10% savings.

Historically, Canadian camera bodies have come with Canon USA and Canada warranty cards good for warranty in both countries, but this is yet to be confirmed specifically for the EOS 5Ds.



Pre-Order the 5DS from Canada for $3353 USD (vs $3699 B&H)


It looks like the best way to get a discounted price on the new Canon EOS 5Ds, Canon EOS 5Ds R, or Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is to pre-order from Canada:

Camera Canada, an authorized Canon Canada dealer, has the Canon EOS 5Ds for $4099.00 (Canadian $), the Canon EOS 5Ds R for $4299.00 (Canadian $), and the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM for $3499.00 (Canadian $).

After adding shipping (about $40) and converting to USD at current exchange rates, the final price is $3353 USD (vs $3699 from B&H) on the 5DS, $3515 USD (vs $3899 from B&H) on the 5DS R, and $2866 USD (vs $2999 from B&H) on the 11-24mm. That’s significant savings for newly announced items!

Readers report that they’ve never experienced tax, duty, or other border-crossing fees when purchasing from Camera Canada, so the price paid to the store should be the final price. The store will also optionally bill you in USD (at the prevailing exchange rate at the time the item ships), but it’s important you select the “Contact Me” option as a payment method during checkout and mention this. As another benefit, you won’t be billed until the item is ready to ship. Pre-orders will be filled in the order received.

Historically, Canon cameras and lenses from Canada have come with Canon USA and Canada warranty cards that indicate that the item is warrantied in both Canada and the USA, and readers have never reported trouble with obtaining warranty service from Canon USA.
