It’s not really a rebate, it’s more like “you get your $200 instant rebate after we raise the price of $200 on the lens”

Thanks, a rebate is now available. Today I purchased the highly rated 200mm f/2.0 canon lens for $4800 USD ($500 rebate) from the most reputable camera store (B&H).

These items are currently in extremely short supply, and we needed to supplement our stock in order to try and satisfy our customers’ requirements – the alternative is to remove them from our inventory for the time being.

To try to meet demand, we took a decision to start buying stock from small vendors (who in turn have been furiously buying up stock from dealers across the USA), and wholesale it.

It has nothing, I repeat NOTHING to do with the rebates. Nor are we trying to price gouge our customers.

That is my receipt for the lens I purchased. I don’t know why it says “trade-in” on it. I did not trade ANYTHING in when I purchased this lens, it was a $200 instant rebate…period. I was told if I wanted the IS version the SAME rebate would apply.

Any rumors/info about rebate on the 70-200 2.8L NON-IS?? That’s the lens at the top of my shopping list.

Hopefully there’s a rebate for just the 50D. Last year at this time the 40D by itself had a $200 rebate.

So, How do these rebates work?

Ive been looking at a Canon XSI(450d) for a while now, and would love to take advantage of the rebate sale.

(Quick choice justification: I dont really care about the movie mode of the T1i and the XSI(450d)seems to have everything that I am looking for).

Anyway, I was looking at online stores like Amazon, B&H, J&R, Adorama, but it seems like they bundle the XSI(450d)body and lenses with a bunch of accessories. Will the Rebate be reflected in the shopping cart if you buy one of these kits, or do you purchase the items separately and then the rebate is applied?

This is my first time through this DSLR purchasing process, and it has proven to be quite a time consuming and confusing process… but hey Ive learned alot.

Thanks for all your posts on this site they have been very helpful!

Right, does anyone know if Canada is getting the same discount on the items mention or we will have another list?

That is BS! raising the price to take a percent of our rebates. Talk about ripping the consumers!!!!

So Canada will get different rebates than the US? Or do we usually just follow suit?

Well it looks like the rebates will be here early this year:

Adorama JUST raised the EF 50 f1.2 from $1400 to $1499 (they felt the need to take the ENTIRE $100 rebate)! (B&H still has it at $1400, but probably not for long).

Adorama JUST raised the EF 100-400IS from $1460 to $1499 (they felt the need to take 40% of your $100 rebate).

Adorama JUST raised the EF-S 10-22 from $710 to $740 (they felt the need to take 60% of your $50 rebate).

How nice of them! I’m sure everyone else will follow step on Monday…

I hope that these are true! I’ll put off buying that 70-200 f/4 IS until at least a week into May!

Thanks!

So no rebates if you just want a 50d body?
