I just found out today that Canon Canada has put a $100-$200 sell through dealer rebate on various 40D kits. This should translate into lower prices for customers.
There has been a bit of a global lowering of prices on the camera, is this a sign Canon is going to abandon their 18 month product cycle on the xxD cameras?
Food for thought, the 5D is the only other Canon camera with the rebate.
Don't confuse these rebates with the Buy More, Save More rebates in Canada, these are strictly for the dealer.
Kits with the rebate:
40D/17-85IS
40D/17-85IS/70-300IS
40D/28-135IS/70-300IS
40D/17-40L
Seeing the 17-85 on the list shouldnt be a surprise, but the 17-40? Could that also be getting a version II?
