The prices continue to drop! Right now you can get the Canon G10 for $430 with free shipping and handling by Calumet Photo on Amazon. You can also get it directly from Calumet Photo but they charge shipping there.
The current price is $20 below the G11 which now goes for $450 at Amazon, sold and shipped by Amazon herself.
Release the discounts! The Canon 50D price had been sliding the last few days, and now it has dropped down to $950 with free shipping at J&R World. Meanwhile, the kit with EF 28-135mm is at around $1150.
Stop the e-presses! The Canon G11 has dropped $50 from its opening price and you can get right now sold and shipped by Amazon.com, not third-party sellers, for $450 with free shipping and handling.
If you can wait for a couple of weeks for delivery, the current price of the Canon T1i instant-rebate bundle is $784 at Amazon. The T1i w/18-55mm goes for $750 and the EF-S 55-250mm goes for $234. Take $200 off with the instant rebate, and the price drops to $784. Be sure to add both of them to your shopping cart, and both must be sold and shipped by Amazon, not by any of the many third-party sellers that do business there.
If Amazon is not the featured seller, you must seek Amazon as the seller in the right sidebar of the Amazon product page, under the "More Buying Choices" segment. Look for "Amazon.com" there. The discount only qualifies if _both_ items are sold and shipped by Amazon. If you don't see the discount in your checkout page as seen below, it means you are not doing it right or the instant rebate promotion has expired.
The lens currently "ships in 1 to 3 weeks". However, the discount is still good as you can see in this screenshot we just took from the Checkout page:
Today's gold box deal of the day at Amazon is the Canon Pixma MX860 all-in-one photo printer offered for $110 with free shipping and handling. The price is good until 3am eastern time on Thursday, unless the item sells out ahead of time.
Thanks to one of our readers for the tip! If you are a subscriber to the NewEgg.com email newsletter that went out earlier today, you will discover coupon code DSLR10B that gets you 10% off the current price of a DSLR, with a maximum $50 of savings. This promotion is good until November 20 "while funds last" (that is NewEgg-speak, we do not know what it means).
If we put on our math hats, $50 means 10% off with prices up to $500. If a DSLR costs $500 or more, the maximum discount you get is $50. So if you are buying a $1000 DSLR, your discount is $50. If you are buying a $2125 DSLR, your discount is $50.
Considering that most DSLRs cost over $500, the 10% off marketing-speak is a little gimmicky. A more accurate and practical description would be "$50 off DSLRs over $500" :)
ALSO: In the same newsletter, you will find the Canon G11 listed for $460 after the promotional coupon code listed there!

If you are interested in the Canon 50D, you may want to take a look at the two-lens kit created by adding the 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS lens to the 50D kit with the EF 28-135mm lens. There is a $200 instant savings rebates on this combo that is good until November 21st, 2009.

We have a quick in-stock alert for those wating to buy the Canon 7D + EF 28-135mm combo from Amazon for the standard price of $1900. It is, as of the time of writing, sold and shipped by Amazon for $1900 with free shipping.
Please note that prices and availability are as of the time of writing, unless otherwise indicated. There is no magic technology that can rewrite posts when things change. This site is a blog, aka diary aka journal, aka, a time-stream, which is why every post has a date and time associated with it, just like a forum does.
It looks like Canon is getting even more aggressive with the pricing of the Canon T1i! You can now get the Canon T1i kit with the 18-55mm EF-S IS lens plus the 55-250mm EF-S IS lens for $802, just $52 more than the single-lens kit. You can get it right now, sold and shipped by Amazon.com. This is because of a $200 instant rebate that ends on November 21st.
Canon has launched some new DSLR-themed instant rebates for November. We will go through them tomorrow (Thursday).
Instant Rebates means the price is adjusted in your shopping cart. There is no action needed to get the low price other than placing the items in your shopping cart.
Canon has gone on the attack with new rounded prices for their Canon T1i kits. The body-only sells for $650 by Amazon and third-party sellers, while the kit with the EF-S IS 18-55mm lens sells for $750 on Amazon by J&R World, Cameta and 17th Street. Amazon herself is higher, at $765.
With a sliding price and the Canon brand name recognition it will be interesting to see how it affects non-brand-affiliated photographers who are looking for a DSLR in this price-range.
