If you are tempted by the new Canon 5D Mark IV body only price of $1999 but instead of the previously mentioned many accessory-freebies (cards, bags, cleaning kits, etc) offers you prefer a battery grip to come free with the camera, more specifically the Canon BG-E20 battery grip, then for the same price of $1990 you can get the 5D IV at B&H Photo with BG-E20 and 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC…

A parallel offer is available on the other official Canon 5D Mark IV with lenses kits…

But if you already have or don’t want a battery grip, fear not, Adorama is countering that with a FREE Flashpoint Zoom Li-On X TTL flash for the same prices. No other freebie however with the free flash.
