Canon 6D Body with Pixma PRO 100 and Paper for $1199 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

Our earlier Canon 6D Freebies round-up was a mail-in rebate safe space. But if you don’t object to the mail-in rebates, and instead of a choice of various freebie options there (4TB HDD, LR6, 1-YR Pho Cloud, etc), you instead want the Pixma PRO 100 printer and don’t object to the mail-in rebate (MIR) and gift card song and dance…

… then for the same price of $1199 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX gift card), at Adorama, you can get the Canon 6D Body with Pixma PRO 100 + 50pk SG-201. No other freebies are included with this, so you are trading off the Pixma PRO 100 and rebate inconvenience VS a choice of LR6/Cloud/4TB/etc freebie…

If you like the Pixma rebate idea but want the 6D II or 5D Mk IV instead, check our earlier Mail-In Rebate Offers posts for those offers…

The body only went for the same price of $1500 when I posted the APS-C DSLR Price Charts three weeks ago. A “smart” way by Canon to increase the price by adding the Wifi to the kit 🙂

However, if you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, you can get a much better deal. Adorama has a Canon 7D Mark II + Pixma PRO 100 printer bundle. You pay $1549 at checkout, receive the order, make sure all is well, file the mail-in rebates per instructions and deadlines, and a few weeks later you’ll receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card by mail if all is well. This makes it a $1199 after $350 MIR promotion. For that, you receive:

  • Canon 7D II body only
  • Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer
  • its sidekick, the SG-201 50pk 13×19″ photo paper
  • the W-E1 Wi-Fi Adapter Kit is included as part of the 7D II kit

If you wanna split the difference in terms of price between the two, and yet get more gear, then check out this Adorama 7D Mark II bundle.
