One More Time: Canon Lens and Speedlite ‘Instant Rebate’ Ends Soon

Leave a comment

I’ll mention this one final time: The Canon Lens and Speedlite ‘Instant Rebate’ Sale ends this week. It includes some very good prices on a wide range of lenses and all (?) of Canon’s Speedlites. One highlight – available through this link – is the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS zoom for $1974.

G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer whose subjects include the Pacific coast, redwood forests, central California oak/grasslands, the Sierra Nevada, California deserts, urban landscapes, night photography, and more.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Under $2000

Leave a comment

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.)

Quick Reminder: Canon ‘Instant Rebate’ on Many Lenses and Speedlites

Leave a comment

Through early January, Canon has an “instant rebate” promotion on a very large group of lenses and Speedlites, and many of the discounts are unusually large. If you have been waiting to make a Canon lens or Speedlight purchase, this might be a good time to make your move. I have posted a list of eligible products with links to site sponsor B&H. (More offers are listed on the Deals page.) Enjoy!

Special Discount on Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II at B&H

Leave a comment

“We interrupt our regular broadcast to bring you this special message.” ;-)

I just heard that site sponsor B&H has added its own additional “instant rebate” to Canon’s price reduction on the the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, a very fine lens for those who do low-light ultra-wide photography. When the $170 Canon “instant rebate” is combined with the $50 B&H “instant rebate,” the price of the lens is reduced by $220! If you have been saving up for this lens, this sounds like a great opportunity to me!

You may already be aware of a current Canon “instant rebate” promotion that has reduced prices on a very wide range of Canon lenses and Speedlites, including some very desirable equipment. The range of included products and the size of the discounts are both unusual.
