Refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 for $799

The new condition Canon 80D body only goes for $1100, so this is another place where you can save by going refurbished but still get the full warranty. The refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 goes for $799 at the official Canon USA outlet with a 1-year warranty from Canon. This is the sale price as the refurbished 80D body only. You can always trade, sell, gift, or experiment upon the 18-55 lens if you don’t need it. This one of their 4th of July DSLR sales.

PS: the refurbished 80D with 18-135mm goes for $300 more ($1099).

Refurbished Canon 6D Body (first gen) w/1yr warranty for $1099

Canon launched this week the 6D Mark II for $2000, but if you want to get Canon 35mm full frame for almost half of that price, the first generation Canon 6D body only kit is on sale for $1099 with free shipping at the Canon USA Outlet store with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. This is part of their 4th of July Savings sale.

The new condition price for the first generation 6D is $1399 at the moment (eg Adorama – page down to see all options). With a new model coming out, strategically, if you are getting the previous generation model, going refurbished or used makes more sense, especially if you can get it with a full warranty. You can put the difference towards a future upgrade or towards moar moar moar lenses.

Pre-order new Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (C/N)

CORRECTION: the lens price is $1200. The original post said the price was $1999.

It’s the season of f2.8 zoom lenses 🙂 Tamron has a new one out, the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is now available for pre-ordering for $1200 [CORRECTED] in the Canon and Nikon DSLR systems at Adorama and B&H Photo and OneCALL and Beach Camera thru Amazon (with extras)

In Tamron-speak, “VC” is image stabilization, “Di” is digitally optimized (not APS-C, just digitally optimized). “Di II” is APS-C.

This lens too has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page. This is the fifth f2.8 zoom lens announced this year!
