Pricewatch Deals / Re: 5d mark iii Amazon price drop

« on: October 21, 2012, 06:09:05 PM »

You can get cheaper from an authorized dealer. Copying from someone else's post on the POTN forum:

Current cheapest 5D3 is PMI Digital via eBay for $3169.75, less $63.40 in eBay bucks, for net $3106.35.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon Announces the Canon EOS 6D DSLR

« on: September 19, 2012, 03:59:39 PM »

Well the low rent autofocus system and a top shutter speed less than my current 50D have put my wallet right back in my pocket.  I have $2,600 burning a hole in my pocket and I don't think this camera is worth what they are asking.  It really looks like they took out as much stuff as possible and hope the "full frame" would sell it.  Disappointment.  In another 6 months I'll be able to afford a 5D3.  I think that is the way to go

Could of just about had one yesterday as they were selling the mark iii for $2750 on Adorama's ebay page.

I've heard that in a number of places.  I look at canon price watch daily and I did not see this .  Does Adorama have a separate ebay page?  Do you have a link?  I would have jumped on this but I keep missing these.  Thanks

It was certainly there, that's how I got mine. Try signing up for e-mail notification. I got emailed it 11:02 am, and when I went to the ebay page only 1 was sold. It was linked off the usual 5D3 page.

Software & Accessories / Re: Canon Direct Instock Alert Tool

You can also try the in-stock notification tool built into canonpricewatch, which works really well for refurbs. I picked up a 24-70 and also the 70-200 II last 20% discount, this way.

It's handy in that it tells you when something was last in stock, which gives you an idea of how rare something is. On their facebook page, they mentioned that they check every 15 seconds and get notifications out within seconds of that.

The real question is, why is this site so quiet?  Canon seems to be getting a lot better at keeping secrets.

Looks like a G15 leak just landed at CPW: http://www.canonpricewatch.com/

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5DIII Price Drop

« on: June 30, 2012, 09:14:15 AM »

A couple legit authorized US dealers (Profeel or PhotoVideo4Less) have been selling it in the $3250 range, and have touched as low as $3149. You just have to watch and wait, as ebay prices fluctuate a lot.

I suggest using canonpricewatch -- they track the authorized dealers who sell using ebay too:

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: BG-E11 ... available anywhere reputable?

Looking at this list:

http://www.canonpricewatch.com/product/03876/Canon-BG-E11-Battery-Grip-for-5D-Mark-III-price.html

BuyDig has in stock for $339, as does Abe's (for $334, if you can survive their upsell call). All the merchants on that list are pretty "major" ones.

EOS Bodies / Re: 1D Mark IV Price/Availability in US and UK

« on: May 26, 2012, 12:31:04 AM »

Thanks for all the feedback I appreciate it.

Seems like they are in pretty high demand still, which is understandable as it is a great camera at that price.

How much were the 1D Mk IVs when they first came out?

According to the graph and data on http://www.canonpricewatch.com/product/02859/Canon-EOS-1D-Mark-IV-price.html

They were just under $4900 when they first came out.

And yes, they are still occasionally in-stock at $4999. B&H was last in-stock 2 weeks ago and Adorama was last in-stock 5 days ago.

EOS Bodies / 5D Mark III to be available in 24-105 IS Kit at launch [+ picture]

« on: March 01, 2012, 07:11:35 PM »

Canonpricewatch says the 5D Mark III will be available with the 24-105 IS Kit, not the 24-70 II, at launch.

http://www.canonpricewatch.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-price/

They also posted an image that (I think) hasn't been seen yet, which is the Mark III with the 24-105.

There's also news of the extended rebates here:

Which is a more trustworthy than random slickdeals post...
