Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 and Pixma PRO 100 and SG-201 paper for $600 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

The Canon D-Rebel T5i remains one of a very few cameras with a cray-cray price-scheme. The body only goes for $650, while the kit with the 18-55mm lens goes for $600, in new condition, at authorized, reputable, MAP-blessed dealers. It’s not just now, it was also the case in the July APS-C Price Charts. So you are paying Canon a premium NOT to take their 18-55 lens? 🙂

Joking aside, the Canon D-Rebel T5 with 18-55 goes for $600 and if you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, that’s the after rebate price you will pay if you buy the Adorama Printer Bundle of the D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 and Pixma PRO 100 and 50pk SG-201 13×19″ photo paper. You pay $950 at checkout, receive items, submit mail-in rebate, and a few weeks later you receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card, making it a $600 after MIR offer.

Now shipping: white Canon SL2 w/18-55 for $699

In a galaxy not-so-far-away, the white Canon SL2 with the 18-55 f4-5.6 IS STM EF-S lens is now in-stock and ready to ship at its authorized dealer price of $699 at Adorama and B&H Photo. Meanwhile at Amazon it is in the all-encompassing “Temporarily out of stock” status.

PS: there is a reason these posts (that are triggered by the price-charts price-checking) are in reverse alphabetical order. I’m following the order of the cameras in the spreadsheet 🙂

Canon 7D II with 18-135 and Pixma PRO 100 and SG-201 paper for $1850 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

The Canon 7D II with the 18-135mm kit goes for $1850 at authorized dealers. If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, Adorama is offering the 7D II with 18-135mm and Pixma PRO 100 and Paper bundle for $1850 after a $350 mail-in rebate
(MIR; prepaid AMEX gift card). So the MIR makes the printer and the photo paper (the usual sidekick, 50pk SG-201 13×19 inch semi-gloss) FREE after rebate.

This too surfaced while price-checking for our in-progress November 2017 Price Chart Series.

Canon 77D body only for $799

The price-checking continues for our new Price Chart Series and it has uncovered an old fashion DSLR sale! The new condition Canon 77D body only APS-C DSLR is going for $799 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three units per customer. It looks like this may have been a price-bot price-match.

Starts 12pm ET Today: FREE to Watch Nikon D7500 Fast Start Online Class World Premiere [also: Canon 6D II rerun]

We have another “world premiere”, a new class recording LIVE today, starting at 12pm eastern (Tuesday 10/31/17), you can watch LIVE and for FREE, with John Greengo, it is the Nikon D7500 Fast Start class. This is the latest Nikon APS-C model, and it is in-stock and shipping [see Stock Status Tracker].

You can find future classes scheduled to stream for FREE at the Creative LIVE On-Air Schedule. Classes with that yellow LIVE tag means they are recording for the first time on that date, a world premiere. Classes without that tag means they are rebroadcasts. The classes you see on that schedule are free to watch on the days they are listed under.

PS: the correct name of these classes is “Fast Start” but I often call them “Fast Track”. I cannot easily unwire my brain, so this is a known error 🙂

Imported Canon 6D body only w/1-YR seller warranty for $1000

The Canon 6D body only (first generation) goes for $1400 at authorized dealers (eg Adorama or Amazon itself). Or it goes for $1200 in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year warranty at the Canon Outlet store

… but if you prefer to save some more, off to the eBay Deals we go where eBay seller 6ave (98.9%, New Jersey) is offering it for $1000 with free shipping in imported grey-market condition with a 1-year seller warranty. Limit up to three units per customer…

With the newest second generation model, the Canon 6D II body going for $2000 in new condition at authorized dealers, you’d be paying half for the previous generation.

New Canon (EF) and Fuji (X, GF) Instant Savings

Tamron 12-28mm f4 PRO APS-C for $199 [Canon]

It looks like Amazon has price-matched the B&H offer. As of the time of writing, you can get the new condition Tamron 12-28mm f4 PRO APS-C lens in the Canon mount for $199 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Maximum three lenses per customer.

It is currently in “temporarily out of stock” status, so shipping date is up in the air, but you can lock the $199 price if you like it.

Imported Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD for $690 [C/N]

The new condition Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD lens bundled with some free accessories goes for $1100 at authorized dealers such as Adorama. But if you want to save a lot and you are comfortable with imported grey-market, then…

… to the eBay Deals we go where eBay seller “QuickNDone” (99.9%) is offering the lens in new condition imported grey-market for $690 with free shipping in the Canon mount or the Nikon mount.

Limit five per mount per customer. Between them they sold over 800 units.

Warranty-wise, if you are buying in Canada, you get a 6-year Tamron Canada warranty. If you are buying elsewhere, you get the 1-year Tamron International warranty. So it’s a lot shorter than the Tamron USA warranty. That’s one of the reasons why the price is lower. They are a Canadian seller but the eBay listing says they ship from various locations in the USA.
