Canon U.S.A. has announced it’s latest rebate program for all things EOS. For the first time in quite a while, you can save up to $700 on your new Canon EOS 40D or EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera. Purchases must be made between May 18, 2008 – July 19, 2008 for all of rebates below.
Canon EOS dSLR Instant Rebates
The following are EOS dSLR instant rebates, which are the best kind since there is no form to forget about:
Canon EOS 5D (body only) – $300 off at both Amazon and B&H Photo.
Canon EOS 5D with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens – $300 off the kit at both Amazon and B&H Photo.
Canon EOS 40D (body only) – $200 off at both Amazon and B&H Photo.
Canon EOS 40D with EF 28-135mm IS USM Lens – $200 off the kit at both Amazon and B&H Photo.
$50 Upgrade Rebate
For those dSLR Dads who are upgrading from either a Canon Digital Rebel, XT, XTi or XSi camera, you can also qualify for an additional $50 off via a mail-in rebate. Just register your current qualifying Digital Rebel class camera and your new Canon EOS 40D or EOS 5D at http://www.usa.canon.com through July 19, 2008. Then fill out the following form (pdf link) completely and mail it in.
$350 Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Photo Printer Rebate
Finally, you can also save big on the Canon Pixma Pro9500 fine-art pigment printer(also available at Amazon and B&H Photo). You can also receive $350 back when you purchase a new Canon EOS 40D or EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera with the PIXMA Pro9500 (Both printer & camera purchases must appear on the same receipt). Update 2008-6-1: Offer valid on purchases made between May 1, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
As always, do yourself a favor and make a copy of everything you mail in. Also, keep in mind that UPC codes (especially ones from printer boxes) tend to add more thickness than a regular first class letter, so check with your local Post Master on the additional charge.
This is a really great deal for you dSLR Dads who are just starting our or, like me, looking to upgrade your many year-old setup. Canon is offering multiple rebates to those who purchase both an EOS dSLR and the Canon Pixma Pro9500 Printer. The Pro9500 is Canon’s desktop 13 inch wide-format inkjet which uses the Lucia Pigment-based ink set. It will print a maximum size sheet of 13 by 23 inches up to 1.2mm (47 mil) thick. It produces some really excellent color and black-and-white prints. You can check out Vincent Oliver’s review over at photo-ihere. I do suggest bypassing the Canon fine art papers and instead pick up some Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk Fine-Art Inkjet Paper (available at Amazon and B&H Photo).
To get the deal, you need to purchase both the Canon Pixma Pro9500 printer (available at Amazon and B&H Photo) and one of the following EOS dSLRs at the same time by April 19, 2008:
A reminder for all of you Canon dSLR Dads looking to buy a new lens or flash. Canon’s Winter Rebate program ends Sunday, February 17, 2008.For those of you who are not aware, the 580 EX II flash and the following lenses are discounted:
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (Amazon, B&H Photo) save $125
This is a great deal for any dSLR Dad who has owns a license of Adobe Photoshop Elements. You can now move up to Adobe Photoshop CS3 for only $299! That’s more than half off the full price of $649! For those of you are thinking but I don’t have a copy of Elements? Well, you’re in luck, because Amazon still has Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 in stock and it’s only $35.
The fine print:
Of course this is a limited-time offer, but it runs the entire month to February 29. It’s available only to licensed users of Photoshop Elements 1.0–6 and Adobe Photoshop Elements plus Adobe Premiere Elements bundle who purchase the full version of Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe (available here).
Update (2008-2-8): Some of you are having issues with the promotion code taking hold in the Adobe Store. If that’s the case, here is the link to the main offer page. You may have to call in the order on the telephone. I know, I know, that’s soooo 1995….
Great news for you Canon dSLR Dads. Canon has just extended their winter rebate program until February 17, 2008. Now you get a chance to wait until after the big PMA2008 announcements before making your purchase decision. For those of you who are not aware, the 580 EX II flash and the following lenses are discounted:
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (Amazon, B&H Photo) save $125
Happy Holidays everyone. Nikon ramps up production on the D300, and then all of a sudden, Canon lowers the price on the 40D. Right now, you can get the Canon EOS 40D for $1,149 at B&H Photo. That’s $150 off (more…)
Ok, there are two ways for a dSLR Dad to look at it, but either way, this is a great deal. Amazon has the Canon EOS 5D with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for $2606! That’s even $250 less than B&H Photo!
So let’s break this down. The Canon EOS 5D dSLR body currently costs $2155. However, the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens costs $990. So this means that this 12 MegaPixel, Full-Frame dSLR package has a value of $538! That makes this (more…)
ThinkTank Photo, maker’s of some of the best camera bags out there (see thedSLR Dad Holiday Gift Guide), is offering a coupon for a free gift with any total purchase over $100. The offer ends December 31, 2007. You can download the coupon here.
(Updated 12/10) As a follow up to yesterday’s post about the Canon IPF5000 17″ Printer for under $800, I have found another great deal for you dSLR Dad’s.
Amazon has the Canon EOS 30D dSLR (Body Only) for $799. That is $100 less than B&H Photo also has it for $799 (a common theme I’ve noticed this Holiday season). Now true, the Canon EOS 40D is a full model change from the 30D, but it’s still $400 more. For those of you dSLR Dad’s who were considering a Canon Digital Rebel XTi for Christmas, this would be a great step up in performance, durability, and resale value for just $250. You can buy it at either the dSLR Dad Amazon Storefront (post comments to let me know what you think of it) or at the regular Amazon site. As always, these links help to support this site. And I would like to thank all of you dSLR Dads who have done so this Holiday season. You have made it possible (more…)
The Canon Imageprograf IPF5000 Printer was replaced by the $1,900 Imageprograf IPF5100 earlier this fall. Both printers are 17″ Wide, 12-Color Pigment Ink (archival quality around 200 years) that take both roll and sheet paper. It also has automatic switching of Black Inks between Gloss and Matte Paper.
What makes the IPF5000 such a great deal this week? Since Amazon has it priced at $790, it’s only a $100 more than the 13″ Canon Pro9500 Printer! You can buy it at either the dSLR Dad Amazon storefront (post comments to let me know what you think) or regular Amazon. As always, these links help to support this site. And I would like to thank all of you who have done so this Holiday season. (more…)
