The Canon Direct Store listed refurbished (for the very first time) a number of popular cameras and lenses last Friday. Despite tremendous interest and many purchases, they are all still showing in-stock. Some readers have asked, “how can they have so many available?”

We’ve been told that the primary source for refurbished cameras and lenses are store returns (items that have been returned to the retailer during a return window cannot be resold as new, instead they are sent back to Canon for inspection and refurbishment). As cameras and lenses typically do not show up in the refurb store until about one year after the new product release, the first refurbished listing usually represents a full year’s worth of returns. As a result, this “first” listing is a great time to buy as it’s almost certain that the stock is real. After this initial release sells out, future restocks will be more limited in quantity (and the usual difficulties with Canon store inventory/backorders may arise).

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, and items are typically just as good as new!

Despite a Canon USA price increase earlier this week, Amazon still hasn’t raised their prices on the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM or RF 85mm f/1.2L USM — you can still place orders at the old $2699 prices for each.

Both are out-of-stock, but Amazon is showing that they will be in-stock soon (giving an estimate of 1-2 days for the RF 85mm).

Canon USA Raised Prices Today on 7 RF Lenses and the 5D Mark IV

Posted September 1, 2021 at 12:56 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 18 comments.

As of midnight, things just got a little more expensive. Canon USA raised prices on 7 RF lenses and the EOS 5D Mark IV. The $100 price increase on the lenses is no surprise, as most RF lenses have been plagued by supply issues since late last year, and have been out-of-stock at most major dealers all summer. We’re not sure what the $200 price increase on the 5D Mark IV is trying to accomplish, given the camera was already uncompetitive at the previous $2499 price point.

Some of our street price deals are still available at the “old” pricing — while quantities last.

EOS 5D Mark IV is now $2699.00 (was $2499)
RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is now $2399.00 (was $2299)
RF 28-70mm F2 L USM is now $3099.00 (was $2999)
RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM is now $2399.00 (was $2299)
RF 100-500mm F4-7.1L IS USM is now $2799.00 (was $2699)
RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is now $2799.00 (was $2699)
RF 85mm f/1.2L USM is now $2799.00 (was $2699)
RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS is now $3099.00 (was $2999)
