Canon 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS for $300

The Canon 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS EF SLR lens is now on sale for $300 with free shipping and 2% promotional rewards at B&H Photo.

Refurbished Canon EF 24-105mm f4L IS for $600

Digging further into the eBay Deals, we find the manufacturer refurbished Canon EF 24-105mm f4L IS (corrected link) offered for $600 with free shipping by Adorama’s eBay store. It comes with the usual one year refurbished by Canon warranty. Limit 5 per buyer.

Imported (gray market) Canon 1D X for $4700

Another trip to the latest eBay Deals find a high-risk high-reward option. The imported Canon 1D X body only is offered for $4700 with free shipping by eBay seller GetItDigital (99.4%), wiht a limit of five per shopping cart. This camera is imported (grey market), so you don’t get warranty from the manufacturer. The seller, Get It Digital, offers their own equivalent one year warranty. High risk because this is an expensive professional DSLR, high reward because it is around $1300-$2100 less than the blessed by Canon USA model which goes for $6800 ($6000 after mail-in rebate) at Amazon and B&H Photo and Adorama and BuyDig. Over 130 imported 1D Xs got sold so far through this listing. Again, please note this is an imported model without a Canon USA warranty.

Refurbished Sony NEX-5TL with 16-50 and 55-210 drops to $400

Fuji X100T harder to find, but still in-stock for $1300 from reputable sellers

We just updated the Fuji X100T stock status page. The camera is harder to find since our previous update (some of the major retailers are still out of stock), however, you can still find it in-stock from reputable + authorized dealers, for example, the silver is going for $1300 from OneCall (the online version of Huppin’s store in the State of Washington).
