Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
An update of the Stock Status Tracker is in-progress, and we have new lower prices for imported grey-market Canon 6D II Body Only kits since the last time we checked. The new condition authorized dealer price is $2000, but if you are comfortable with imported with a 1-year seller warranty:
+ 6ave on eBay (IMP) for $1715 with free shipping
+ Deals All Year on eBay (IMP) for $1730 with free shipping
The recently released Canon TS6120 wireless all-in-one printer with scanner, copier and mobile printing is now down to $100 with free shipping in the black or white color schemes at Amazon by Amazon itself where it is currently the top two best sellers in Newly Released Multi-Function Printers.
In parallel, the new condition and recently released Canon TS9120 Wireless All-In-One Printer is going for $150 with free shipping in black or gold color schemes. The more stylish looking red goes for more.
A new week has arrived which means another round of featured USED Weekly Sales at KEH has been added. These are eligible for 25% off with permanent coupon KEHDEALS and continue until Friday night of the same week (eg Friday 10/6/17 in this case).
This week includes:
+ USED Canon A-1 35mm Camera Body starting at $45 after coupon in “BGN” or better condition; or $17+ in “AS IS” condition
+ USED Canon 50mm F/1.8 FD Mount Lens starting at $26~ in “UG” or better condition
+ also eligible for the coupon are four photo-accessories – details at the Weekly Sales at KEH
+ “AS IS” condition offers no warranty, and no returns
In a separate promotion, not eligible for the coupon above, KEH has an on-going overstock sale with over 400 items participating.
Also, ending by Sunday night, they have a 15% off film coupon sale. This is actually photographic film in new condition; not film gear
Everybody’s getting into the photo printing game these days, including Canon! According to a new promotion at the Canon USA store, coupon code GLOSSY17EZ gets you 50% off hdAlbum EZ Glossy Photo Books. Expiration date unknown.
Meanwhile the Pumpkin Spice sale continues. You can find a lot of those offers individually mentioned in the Canon posts.
For fans of EF video shooting, the new Canon EOS C200 EF Cinema body only is now in-stock and ready to ship for $7499 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. Optional financing options are available through Canon Financing. Note that this item is non-returnable!
Lots of refurbished Canons are participating in the Pumpkin Spice Mocha sale sale at the Canon outlet store.
We previously mentioned the refurb 80D with 18-55 for $779. For a similar ballpark price, you can trade-off an older body with a better lens, it’s the manufacturer refurbished Canon 70D with 18-135mm with a 1-year Canon USA warranty for $800 with free shipping.
This kit is almost gone from authorized/reputable dealers, but its price defeats the used price of $912 at B&H Photo in “Condition 9” with only a 90-day B&H Used warranty.
Back to the Canon Pumpkin Spice sales we go, where, despite the goofy name for their sale, all these come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and very competitive prices on some items compared to buying them new condition at authorized dealers.
The Canon 80D with the 18-55mm lens currently goes for $1250 at authorized dealers such as Adorama.
But if you buy manufacturer refurbished with a 1-year warranty from the Canon USA Outlet store, you can get the Canon 80D with 18-55mm kit for $779 with free shipping. That’s 38% off the new condition price and you still get the same warranty!
If you don’t want/need the 18-55 kit lens, you can sell, donate, trade, gift or experiment upon the 18-55 lens!
The discount is not as big, but it’s less if you are instead interested in the 80D with 18-135mm kit. It goes for $1500 at authorized dealers versus $1079 at Canon USA Outlet.
What about some Pumpkin Spice Sales for breakfast?
Let’s round up the lenses. We already mentioned two primes under $100 and the 85mm f1.8 EF for $260, but there are more value options at the Canon Pumpkin store:
As S.W. Anderson pointed out in the comments earlier, if you are looking for a bang for the buck EF-S zoom, the manufacturer refurbished Canon 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM EF-S is available for $190 with a full 1-year warranty Canon USA warranty… In new condition this goes for $279 with some freebies at authorized dealers such as Adorama.
Also zooming, the manufacturer refurbished Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM goes for $540 with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. In new condition this lens goes for $749 with freebies at authorized dealers such as Adorama.
Three of the four refurbished Olympus refills of yesterday continue (the E-M10 II and silver Pen-F) to be in-stock as of the time of writing, and so do many of the Canon Pumpkin Spice Sales.
A couple of them are “take pictures with” kits if you want to try out the Canon Mirrorless system without spending too much money on it. Both the M3 and M10 mirrorless cameras are starting to fade out in new condition from authorized dealers (eg a number of kits are gone from B&H and Adorama).
Both of the kits offered by the Canon USA store come with a full 1-year warranty and they also come with free accessories to make them more tempting…
The refurbished Canon M10 with 15-45mm EF-M in the black color scheme goes for $399 and includes two free BG-E3 grips, one brown, one black. They go for $24 each on their own. You can keep the extra grips but they are also simple enough to sell or trade with photo-friends…
In new condition, this kit goes for $450 at Adorama without the two free BG-E3 grips. So mayhaps the grips are the deciding factor?
Meanwhile the refurbished Canon M3 with 18-55 IS STM EF-M goes for $499 and it has a freebie of its own, the EVF-DC1 Electronic Viewfinder included automatically by Canon’s outlet store while this promotion is running…
In new condition, this kit is not available at B&H and Adorama, but you can get the M3 body only with the usual freebies (NOT the EVF-DC1 EVF) for $429 at Adorama. The EVF-DC1 is a more expensive freebie, it goes for around $200 on its own, and it’s more versatile, you can also use it with the G3 X and G1 X II rawsumers, which by the way are also on sale as part of the Pumpkin Sale.
PS: it appears we have an impromptu theme today, long-ass/long-winded posts 🙂
Four different Canon G-series rawsumers are part of the Canon Pumpkin Sale. We start with the Canon G1 X II, which goes for $650 with free shipping in new condition at authorized Canon USA dealers such as Adorama.
But you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $480 with a 1-year warranty from the Canon USA Outlet store.
More action from the Pumpkin Canon sale, you can get the manufacturer refurbished Canon G5X rawsumer for $580 with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
In new condition, at authorized Canon USA dealers, this goes for $730 with free accessories, eg Adorama.
The new condition Canon G3 X goes for $850 with free accessories at some authorized Canon USA dealers, such as Adorama. But if you are prefer a lower price, and you are comfortable with refurbished…
… you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $660 at the official Canon USA Outlet with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
The Canon G9 X goes for $400 in new condition at authorized dealers, while the G9 X II goes for $450. If you are interested in the first generation, an alternative may be to go the way of the refurbished, especially when you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year warranty from the official Canon USA Outlet store.
This is part of the Pumpkin Spice Sale. Neither pumpkin, nor spice are included 🙂
The Canon Speedlite 270EX II flash goes for $169 at authorized dealers such as B&H Photo.
But if you want a lower price, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $99 with a 1-year warranty from the official Canon USA Outlet store.
This too is part of a 38-item Refurbished sale.
If you are looking for a “take pictures with” Canon DSLR kit without breaking the bank, the Canon USA Outlet store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6i Two Lens Kit with the 18-55 EF-S IS STM and 55-250 IS STM lenses along with a 1-year Canon USA warranty for $560.
This is a limited time offer, part of their Pumpkin Spice Refurbished Sale.
PS: if they chose that name, they should have been giving everyone who buy a camera or lens a promo code for a free PSL 😉
Going with the theme of the season, the official Canon USA Outlet store has launched a Pumpkin Spice Refurbished Sale (that’s their own name for it, not my goofy joke), and that includes two primes under $100 but still with a 1-year Canon USA warranty:
+ refurbished Canon 50mm f1.8 EF for $80
+ refurbished Canon 24mm f2.8 EF-S for $99.99 (thus my loophole to call it under $100)
The Canon 85mm f1.8 EF lens goes for $350 in new condition at authorized Canon USA that bundle it with some free accessories such as Adorama.
But if you are comfortable with manufacturer refurbished with a 1-year Canon USA warranty, you can get it in this condition for $260 for a limited time at the Canon USA store.
This 1-day coupon expired…
A new week has arrived which means another round of featured USED Weekly Sales at KEH has been added. These are eligible for 25% off with permanent coupon KEHDEALS and continue until Friday night of the same week (eg Friday 9/22/17 in this case).
This week includes:
+ USED Canon 100-300mm F/4.5-5.6 USM EF for $59+ starting in BGN (Bargain) condition
+ USED Mamiya RZ67 Medium Format Camera Body for $136+ starting in BGN (Bargain) condition
+ if you are not familiar with KEH, check the various conditions listed there, eg “BGN”, “EX”, “EX+”, “LN”, etc
+ “AS IS” condition does not have a warranty and does not offer returns
+ also eligible for the coupon are four photo-accessories – details at the Weekly Sales at KEH
In a separate promotion, not eligible for the coupon above, KEH has an on-going overstock sale with over 400 items participating.
The Canon G9 X compact with RAW (previous generation model – see Fixed Lens Camera Price Chart for a refresher on Canon’s G models) goes for $400 in new condition at authorized dealers, while the G9 X II goes for $450.
If you prefer the G9 X (first generation), AND you want the Canon PIXMA PRO 100 printer, AND you don’t object to doing mailing rebates and spending AMEX gift cards AND you still want to end up paying $400 out of pocket, then …
… to B&H Photo we go where they bundle the black Canon G9 X (first generation) with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer and its trusty sidekick (50pk 13×19″ photo paper). You pay $749 at checkout, receive the order, make sure all is well, file the mail-in rebates following instructions and deadlines, and a few weeks later, you receive a $350 prepaid American Express gift card by mail, thus making it a very long sentence, and more importantly, a $400 after $350 MIR promotion.
On the other hand, if you prefer the G9 X II with the PIXMA PRO 100 and paper promotion, you end up paying around $30 more [than the price of the G9X II alone] after rebate. In either black or brown, the G9 X II bundle is $479 after a $350 prepaid AMEX GC rebate.
This round of PIXMA mail-in rebates expires 9/30/17. The prices of the cameras themselves and the bundle can change independently of the mail-in rebate amount which is fixed for the duration of this promotion.
PS: I have a feeling I could have written this post with fewer words but an attempt to optimize it typically results in 2-3 additional paragraphs 🙂
Macro time! The new condition Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro lens is on sale for $399 with free shipping at Adorama with the following freebies: 52mm Pro-Optic Filter Set (three filters and case), the Corel Software bundle (five titles, including two photo and one video), a lens wrap, tether and cleaning kit, and $8 promotional rewards.

The Canon M5 body only mirrorless camera goes for $929 at authorized dealers, some of which are offering free accessories with it, such as Adorama.
Or it can participate in the Pixma AMEX MIR promotions, such as B&H Photo where you can get the M5 body only along with the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its trusty SG-201 sidekick (50pk 13×19 inch photo paper) for $959 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card).
Or if you just want the Canon M5 body only kit, without freebies or printers, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $750 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from the official Canon USA store.
