Canon 6D Body + Pixma PRO 100 + 50pk SG-201 + Lowepro + 32GB Sandisk for $1100 after $350 MIR

If you want to get the Canon 6D in new condition with a Canon USA warranty but pay closer to imported/grey-market prices, there is a compromise, but it involves mail-in rebates and prepaid gift cards. This option can be even more lucrative if you are willing to sell/trade/gift some of the items in the bundle (if you don’t need them). But let’s start from the beginning…

… Adorama is offering a Canon 6D Body Only Pixma MIR bundle. You pay $1450, receive the order, make sure all is well, submit the mail-in rebate, and if all is well, a few weeks later you receive a $350 prepaid American Express Gift Card…

… For that, you get the Canon 6D body only, the Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer, its trusty sidekick (the 50pk Canon SG-201 13×19 inch photo paper), a Lowepro Adventura shoulder bag, and a 32GB Sandisk microSDHC Extreme card…
