Canon just kicked off a great $200 instant rebate savings on the EOS R — Adorama has put together an incredible with the EOS R, 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pro, microphone, bag, and a bunch of other accessories for only $1599.00.
B&H also has a bundle — but it’s not as good as Adorama’s. The price of the refurbished camera has also dropped to $1439 at the Canon Direct Store.
B&H has two great deals on used Canon mirrorless cameras. The EOS R5 is available for $3429.95 in Condition 10 “Good as new”. B&H checkout re-opens at 9:30 PM ET!
Amazon is strangely discounting the EOS R to $1644.95 and EOS 5D Mark IV to $2249.00. They’re an authorized dealer, and this is sold by Amazon proper (not by a 3rd party), so we’re not sure why they’re allowed to discount!
Our popular street price deals on RF-mount cameras are ending soon — we’re expecting a price increase at the end of the week, due to adjustments in the Canon promotions. These prices are from Canon authorized dealers, with free shipping, a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and no sales tax is collected by the dealers. While quantities last, you can also add the mount adapters — dealers have both regular and control ring adapters in-stock.
We also now have a limited quantity of EOS R5 in-stock via the street price program, while quantities last.
Our street prices have dropped on the EOS R EOS RP — they are $1699 and $899 respectively from authorized Canon dealers. The item ships free, has a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and the dealers do not collect state sales tax.
The Canon Direct Store restocked a number of popular refurbished lenses and cameras. Included in the restock are several popular items including the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 50mm F1.2 L USM.
Several readers report that if you have an old unfilled backorder, you can call the Canon Direct Store (while the item is still in-stock) and they may be able to fill your previous order with the available stock.
Check out our refurbished stock tracker for a list of all items available. Refurbished items from the Canon Direct Store come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
In a few hours, this unique 2020 year will draw to a close. Let’s hope 2021 is a lot less chaotic than how 2020 turned out. All the best to our CPW readers in 2021!
It’s a CPW tradition to countdown the popular Canon items of the year. We compiled statistics via our street price program as well as through our posted deals (new and refurbished), and we sorted by number of copies purchased. You can compare with 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016’s list.
The year has been so long, it’s easy to forget that the EOS 1D-X Mark III was also introduced at the beginning of the year, in January. It barely missed the list, at #11 in sales. Many expect that this was Canon’s last 1-series EF-mount camera, but time will tell.
Despite all the early supply challenges this unique lens has proven to the most popular of Canon’s 2020 lens releases, and a good-warmup before the rumored RF 100-400mm.
We said last year that the 5D Mark IV would drop off the list, after two years at #1 and one year at #2. We were wrong! The camera continues to be popular in its fourth full year, grabbing #9 on this year’s list.
The EOS 90D was the first crop-sensor body to have made it onto our annual top-10 list, and we’re surprised to see it cling on for yet another year. If the rumors turn out to be true, its position on the list will be replaced by an RF-mount crop-sensor body next year.
With a stint at $899 for the EOS RP (and $999 when paired with the respectable RF 24-105 STM), the RP has continued to be popular and keeps its position relative to the similarly-classed EOS R.
This camera was #1 last year, the first time a mirrorless product topped our list, a clear sign of Canon imaging’s transformation away from SLRs. We knew its position was only temporary, paving the way for newer mirrorless cameras and products to come. This camera is still a great performer and fills an important niche and price point.
No surprise, the RF zoom trinity is together on our list! At #5 and #4, respectively, are the RF 15-35mm and RF 24-70mm “twin” lenses, designed with a similar aesthetic, launched on the same day, and with an identical price. They continued to have almost identical sales figures through the year with the RF 24-70mm slightly ahead due to a great end-of-year refurbished deal. The final member of the f/2.8 zoom trinity (and in our opinion the lens most worth upgrading to), the RF 70-200mm, joined them on this year’s list, and pulled ahead to the #3 position with an incredible end-of-year refurbished deal. We expect these mainstays to be on the top 10 lists for years to come. Cameras come and go, but great lenses are forever.
Overheating problems? Supply issues? Conspiracy theories? The EOS R5 was definitely the most talked about camera in 2020 — especially with its groundbreaking 8K video (albeit only 20 minutes at a time). Many questioned whether the “overheating issue” was an excuse for a camera deliberately crippled via software. For the first months, with the cameras impossible to find, conspiracy theories abounded about secret recalls and supply issues.
The explanation was simpler though: this is an astounding camera and everyone wanted it, we’ve seen more interest on this camera than any other item in the last ten years of tracking Canon. In the end Canon pulled through and supplied enough EOS R5 to make it also the best selling item this year (at least amongst our readers!), and the top of our list. Will it stay there in 2021, or does Canon have more in-store for RF mount? An exciting time to be a Canon shooter.
