A new round of Canon DSLR price adjustments at Amazon brings the Canon 60D body only down to $654 with free shipping. The 60D price has been sliding, so keep an eye on it if you are interested in this particular model. It should go without saying, both the 60D and the 7D have been around for a while, so replacement models are expected among Canon fans.
There is a new round of Canon Instant Rebates at Amazon featuring the 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS lens. When you buy it together, in the same shopping cart, as one of the qualifying Canon DSLR kits shown there (6D, 7D, 60D), you get $300 off the combined purchase price. With a current price of $500 for the 70-300, you are essentially adding it to your purchase for $200. You must enter the coupon code shown at the aforelinked page to get the discount. Promotion ends 4/27/13 or earlier/later if sold-out/changed/cancelled/extended.
Both the Canon Instant Rebates and the Nikon Instant Rebates are set to expire at the end of day on March-30-2013 at B&H Photo. This iteration of the instant rebates will not be renewed, but if history repeats itself, eventually there will be another round of instant rebates.
The price of the Canon D-Rebel T3/1100D w/18-55 is yo-yo-ing. It is now down to $400 again at Amazon by Amazon and B&H Photo. It is optionally eligible for the Canon telephoto instant rebates, but the additional optional telephoto lenses are +$75 or more, so it only makes if you need the 55-250mm.
The T3/1100D is perhaps best suited for a beginner or as a first DSLR or for someone who doesn't want to be overwhelmed by a complicated camera. However, if none of the above apply, the Canon T3i/600D w/18-55 goes for $600 and the Canon T4i/650D w/18-55 goes for $650.
If you don't want to wait to find out what a potential 7D Mark II will look like and you have a short-term buy-interest in the Canon 7D, the 7D with the 18-135mm EF-S IS lens has dropped to $1450 at B&H Photo and Amazon. Add to cart to see prices. The body only goes for $1200 at both places. Optionally, you can add the 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS for +$250 if purchased together with an eligible DSLR kit.
The lens prices shift and change and as they change, they can create some interesting specials. As of the time of writing, you can add the 75-300mm non-USM lens to an eligible Canon D-Rebel T3i or T3 purchase for just $9 more. The lens goes for $159 and there is a $150 off combined purchase discount. You MUST enter the promo code shown at the aforelinked Amazon page. Promotion ends 1/5/13 or earlier/later.
The add 55-250mm EF-S IS promotion remains at +$105 ($255 - $150) with the T3i and T3 eligible. You must enter the promo code shown there!
Separately and stackable, the D-Rebel T3i kits are eligible for a free SLR backpack and 16GB SDHC card.
The add 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS to a Canon 7D or 60D kit promotion remains at +$200 ($500 - $300). You must enter the promo code shown there!
The Canon 60D with the 18-200mm EF-S IS lens has now dropped to $1100 $1000 at Amazon.com. You can optionally add the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS for just $200 more ($500 lens price - $300 off combined purchase instant rebate)... UPDATE: the original blog-post said $1000. I don't recall if the price changed, or I simply typed the wrong price.
The Canon 60D with the 18-135mm EF-S IS has now dropped to $900 at Amazon.com. You can optionally add the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS for just $200 more ($500 lens price - $300 off combined purchase instant rebate).
The Canon 60D body only has now dropped to $700 with free shipping at Amazon.com. You can optionally add the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS for just $200 more ($500 lens price - $300 off combined purchase instant rebate).
The latest Canon Instant Rebates are now up and running at B&H Photo. Click on the Canon DSLR of your choice on the left sidebar of the page and see what instant discounts and combined purchase discounts are available for each camera. Participating DSLRs are the 5D Mark III and II, the 7D, 60D, and the D-Rebel T4i, T3i, and T3.
As of a 7:10pm ET recheck, the price of the 75-300 lens has jumped from $157 to $200, thus raising the price of the bundle from $586 to $630. For some people, +$50 to get the 75-300mm may still be a good trade-off, others, may want to wait for potential 55-250mm specials. The future is unknown.
As of the 7:10pm ET, the price of the Canon D-Rebel T3i w/18-55 kit remains at $580, while the 55-250 lens cannot be ordered.
Expired offers after the jump for reference only...

As of a 11:35pm ET recheck, this promotion is dead on two counts. The 75-300mm lens is gone and cannot be ordered and the discount when buying the 55-250 lens is back to the usual $150 instead of the full price of the lens ($221). Also, the Transcend discount is gone. We will try to monitor the situation to see if it returns...
Retested on Nov-23-2012 at 11:17am ET: the 75-300 lens is back in-stock, but the discount on the 55-250 discount remains $150 instead of the full price of the 55-250 lens ($222~). But with this new development, the 75-300mm lens can be added for +$7. As of this update, the Canon D-Rebel T3i w/18-55 kit price is $580.
Expired items after the jump...

If you were interested in getting one of the three Canon 7D kits, you can add the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens to your shopping cart for just $175 more. This is because of a $250 off combined purchase instant discount. The current lens price is $425, minus $250 = $175. This promotion expires October-27-2012 (unless renewed/cancelled).
Parallel,optional, and stackable with that is the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II AMEX Gift Card via Mail-in Rebate promotion which is good until December-31-2012.

This round of Canon Instant Rebates is good until October 27, 2012, unless it gets extended or changed or cancelled before then.

For a refresher on the T4i/650D, check its list of completed reviews which also include the recently published DXoMark test results. Canon doesn't typically do well in DxoMark test results. The T4i/650D had some lower scores that the T3i/600D and T2i/550D. See the aforelinked DxoMark test results for more details.
