Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Under $2000

I just received a note from B&H saying that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II body is available right now for $1999.95. The 5D2 (as I prefer to call it – less typing!) is Canon’s 21 MP full frame DSLR that also can produce excellent HD video. This is the camera that I use for my own photography.

UPDATE: This price includes a “bundle” of other useful items, too:

SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card
Lowepro Adventura 170 Shoulder Bag
Red Giant B&H Video Production Software Bundle

The body-only deal is a great opportunity for those who are looking to upgrade from another body and may already have a set of Canon lenses. If you don’t have lenses, two great ones to combine with this camera are the Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 24-70mm f/2.8L or the Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. (I use the 24-105, though I know others who love the 24-70, and it is eligible for the current Canon ‘Instant Rebate’ Promotion on lenses and Speedlites.)

‘Black Friday” Canon “double instant rebate” deals at B&H

(Update 11/25/11: Please take a look at the “deals” page on this web site for updates. B&H is sending me emails about other deals – including Adobe Lightroom for only $89.95 and a “$200 off” price on the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens.)

Right on the heels of the previous “instant savings” promotion and as part of the seasonal Black Friday sales, site sponsor B&H has announced Canon Double Rebates on the EOS 60DEOS 7D, and EOS 5D Mark II cameras and a wide range of lenses and electronic flashes when purchased as a package. Lenses include many L primes and zooms, speciality lenses such as macro and tilt/shift models, most of the better EFS lenses, and a few excellent non-L lenses. It looks like essentially all of the major Speedlite models are included. This extended Black Friday deal only lasts a short time – prices expire on Sunday, November 27 at 3:00 a.m. EST.

If you are considering a body and lens, these are some of the best prices you are likely to see. Some of the discounts are significant enough that you might even want to get that body/lens that you were just thinking about… To see the details of this promotion at B&H, follow this link.
