15% off Refurbished Canon Lenses and Flashes
There is a big burst of Holiday Specials at the official Canon USA store. This includes a 15% sale on refurbished Lenses with a 1-year warranty (68 options but many sold out already), and Flashes (5 options, all in-stock). The sale is shown in red ink, no coupon is needed.
I am highlighting some of the offers that are in-stock as of the time of writing in some of the posts below, but I can’t post about every single item – the Canon line-up is huge.
In parallel, you may also notice the offer below running over there. If you make a qualifying purchase of $500+ at the official Canon Outlet store, you will receive $50 in Canon eCash to use in future purchase. These are promotional rewards, not a gift card, so it has limitations and expiration. Details over there. Here’s the annotated banner from over there promoting it:

Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and 1-Yr Warranty for $400
One of the rules of thumb of camera gear is that if you are going to go for an older model, might as well try to get it in refurbished condition, so you can save even more. Especially when it comes with a one year manufacturer warranty. Which brings us to the refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM going for $400 with free shipping and a 1-yr warranty from the official Canon store… This is part of their refurbished DSLR sale…

eBay Featured Sale: DSLR Beginning Kits (YMMV)
eBay is having another one of their featured semi-curated sales, this one is a DSLR Beginners Kit Sale featuring 500+ items. Due to time-constraints I can’t price-check all these items, so this is a DIY YMMV adventure if you feel like deal fishing. You can filter them down by using the Menus or the options on the left-hand-side over there (you may get different views depending on their responsive page template).
Canon 24-70mm f4L IS for $800
The Canon 24-70mm f4L IS is on sale for a limited time for $800 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself. At the first two, you also get 4% promotional rewards ($32~). Alternately, if you prefer accessories instead of promotional rewards, Adorama has a bundle with various lens-y accessories along with the Corel Creativity software bundle (including AfterShot Pro 2 and Paintshop Pro X7).
In addition to that, Adorama has another listing with the same price but 10% promotional rewards (=$80~). There is an “RB” in the product code and “RW” in the item description, so I’m not sure what this means. I am not sure if RB is short for refurbished? I don’t know what “RW” is.
