Canon 2-Lens STM Bundle: 50mm f1.8 EF and 10-18 f4-5.6 IS EF-S for $350

Nikon launched its own 2-lens bundle last year (currently available for purchase but not discounted, it goes for $800+), so obviously Canon had to come up with their own 2-lens bundle, it is the EF 50mm f1.8 STM prime lens bundled together with the EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM together going for $350 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself and B&H Photo.

Canon 1D X Body and Pixma PRO 100 and Extras for $4609 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

The Canon 1D X II body only goes for $6000 in new condition at authorized dealers (eg B&H Photo with 2% promotional rewards ~ $120 to be used in future purchase), but if you are set on getting the first generation model, the 1D X (Mark I now that there’s a Mark II out), you can get it bundled with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer, a 50pk Canon 13×19″ photo paper, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme, Vello trigger, camera bag for $4609 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX Gift Card) at B&H Photo

Since the 1D X has been around for a while, you can also try your luck at the used and refurbished market, for example, the official Canon USA store offers the standard 1D X body only kit in certified refurbished condition for $4239 and a 1-year warranty.

Canon 1D C Body for $5000

New condition authorized-dealer supplies for the Canon 1D C body only Cinema DSLR are running on the dry side, but if you want it, it is still available in-stock and in new condition for $5000 at B&H Photo. Note that this is sold as non-returnable item. If you have any issues with it, you have to go through the Canon warranty. This is not an uncommon practice for professional video equipment where returns can be used as “temporary rentals” by film makers on a shoestring budget.

PS: I have began a full frame cameras price check for the upcoming “Price Charts” series, this is the first of potentially more full frame discount posts to come (assuming there are more mentionables that is).

Open-box Canon 75-300 f4-5.6 III w/full warranty for $80

More open box action, this time we fly to Adorama where they offer the open-box Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III for $80 with free shipping and full warranty since Adorama is an authorized Canon USA dealer.

The Canon 70-200mm f2.8L II IS USM goes for $1950 in new condition at authorized dealers (eg B&H Photo) but if you are comfortable with open-box lenses, you can get it for $1700 with free shipping and original accessories and 1-year warranty at Adorama.

On the other hand, if you prefer the new condition lens and also want the Pixma PRO 100 printer, you can get them bundled together at Adorama for $2050 after a $250 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card). In addition to the lens and printer, you also get the printer’s sidekick (50pk 13×19″ paper), a ProOptic 77mm filter kit and a lens care kit.

Among the latest Trending eBay Deals, the official Buydig eBay store is offering the new condition Canon PIXMA MX922 printer for $83 with free shipping. Limit 50 per customer, but don’t try to fit all fifty under the tree 😉 Buydig is Beach Camera and they are authorized Canon dealers.

(ENDED) Canon G7 X II drops to $599

As of a 10/4/16 recheck, the price returned to $700… We just updated the Stock Tracking page and we have an interesting development for the Canon G7 X II, it is down $100, going for $599 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. The starting price of this is $700. The shipping estimate however is a very non-specific “1-2 months” so if you need it by a specific date/event, keep that in mind. The limit is the same 30 per customer, so I don’t know if this is a sale or their price-computers accidentally price-matched one of the 3rd-party sellers.

Pre-order Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS II USM for $550

For many Canon fans, the 75-300mm lens being non-IS non-USM in the digital era sticks out like a sore thumb, but at that price, Canon will probably not offer an IS lens. But they have a new IS lens in this ballpark range, the new EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS II USM lens, available for pre-order for $550 at Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo. The early shipping estimate is around Thanksgiving 2016 :)… This too has been added to the Interesting New Lenses of 2016 Tracking page
