Refurbished Canon Outlet Sale (29 options)

The official Canon USA store is running a refurbished DSLR (mostly) sale featuring 26 different kits. Since these sell out quickly, I’m posting this right away because if I wait until I can find time to dissect it, more of them will likely sell out.

Separately they have a clearance sale of three items, headlined by the manufacturer refurbished Canon 5D Mark II (yes, Mark TWO) for $1599 with free shipping. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.

Thanks to one of our readers for the alert for this one! The Best Buy website includes a FREE Sony battery grip with the purchase of the Sony a7r II body only at its standard price of $2400. If you are not familiar with the Best Buy website, there is a tiny “Includes Free: 2 items” link on their page, and also a blue banner that says “Free Battery Grip”.

Imported Nikon D850 Body “drops” to $3400

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and there is a “discount” on the limited availability premium of the Nikon D850. The camera’s official price is $3300 at authorized dealers, but it went over $3500 by importers who had it in-stock. Now the “limited availability premium” is shrinking, it’s “only” +$100, you can get it in imported grey-market condition with a 1-year seller warranty (not Nikon USA) by eBay seller Deals All Year (New Jersey) for $3400 with free shipping.

Personally I would wait for the Nikon USA authorized dealers, but I am not the Master of the Universe (I am barely the master of my thoughts), I can’t decide for everybody else 🙂
