Pre-order new Canon G1 X III APS-C RAWsumer for $1300

The sensors are increasing in RAWsumers, and so are the prices! Canon finally decided to go APS-C with their storied G-series. The brand new Canon G1 X III (aka third generation) has an APS-C sensor, and a pre-order price of $1300, both on the uptick. The lens glued to the body is a 24-72mm (eq) f2.8-5.6 with OIS.

Pre-orders are accepted at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself where they have a late November 2017 release estimate.

This has been added to the New Cameras of 2017 were RAWsumers are making a late run in the year, seven new ones in 2017, versus eight new DSLRs and ten new mirrorless cameras.

Refurbished Canon 70D with 18-135mm for $800

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.

Refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 w/1-YR Warranty for $779 [80D w/18-135 for $1079]

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.

Refurbished Canon Mirrorless w/1-YR Warranty: M10 w/15-45 and two Grips for $399; M3 with 18-55 and EVF-DC1 EVF for $499

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…

Canon M10

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?

Canon M3

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 🙂

Refurbished Canon G1 X II rawsumer for $480

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.

Refurbished Canon G5 X rawsumer for $580

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.

Refurbished Canon G3 X rawsumer for $660

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.

Refurbished Canon G9 X rawsumer for $300

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 🙂

Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6i w/18-55 & 55-250 for $560

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 😉

Canon G9 X with PIXMA PRO 100 and Paper for $400 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

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 🙂

Canon M5 Options: refurb w/full warranty for $750, new with Pixma PRO 100 Printer for $959 after MIR

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.
