Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
Here is a email I received this morning from Canon Customer Service !!!! Looks like it is all on B & H and others from what I gather. I could not find any Canon rebates for the 7D on their site..
Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and
appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
The rebate you are referring to has to be something the dealer is
offering. Currently, Canon is not offering any type of rebates on the
Digital SLR cameras, lenses or flashes.
For current rebates, you can check out the Canon website for updates:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer?pageKeyCode=53
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please let us know if we can
be of any further assistance with your Canon Product.
Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,
Liz

The double rebate is working at B&H. Click the link for the 70-200mm lens on the 7D product page...
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/646908-REG/Canon_3814B004_EOS_7D_SLR_Digital.html
And you will see the $200 instant rebate and the $200 bundled savings.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
For those of you who are really angry, I would suggest you consider the Canon Loyalty Program. You can take any old broken Canon camera (even a Powershot), and trade it in to Canon for 20% off their factory refurbished bodies. With current pricing, that works out to $1,087 for a refurbished 7D, and $1,599 for a refurbished 5DMKII. Free 2 day shipping. Local taxes apply.
Discounted prices based on Canon Factory refurb. price list, here: http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subCategory_10051_10051_-1_29252
Also comes with 6 month warranty (rumors that this has been reduced to 90-days). As for locating a broken Canon Powershot, you can score one for a couple of dollars on eBay. Just make sure it is 100% BROKEN, with no functions whatsoever (if you are worried, just bang it with a hammer a few times). Then just call up Canon with the broken body in hand (you'll need the serial number), have your credit card ready, and you're good to go. 1-866-443-8002 (option 2).
Just something to consider.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
Well Liz is not up to speed on the rebates... I just purchased a 7D for $1499 taking advantage of the $200 instant rebate. Even www.usa.canon.com reflects the rebated price if you add the 7D to your cart... it's not just B&H

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
Looks like Dave at Canon is "Out of the Loop" as well.
Here's his response to my complaint:
I did go to the Canon site, where I added a 7D to a shopping cart. The sale was not listed at the point that I added the camera but when I checked the cart, it showed the "Sale" price of $1499. It even stated Promotional Savings: - $200.00!
Looks like Dave is simply looking on the Canon web site for his info. Canon's people need to get with the program!

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
Huh. So on the 3rd day of a 3 day sale, Henry's raised the price of the Canon 7D to $1699 and then applied a 7% discount. So the sale price, for the last day of the 3 day sale is now $1580.99. I should have picked it up yesterday but now I will not be picking it up at all. It's a principle thing.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
So the million dollar question is will prices be lower after the rebate ends? I saw buydig.com offering the 7D at $1,399 about two weeks ago, but (foolishly) held off thinking that the rebate was coming. Is it better to buy now or wait a month? Will prices likely rise to the recently-revised $1,699 or fall back to pre-"rebate" levels? If anyone has observed trend in past "rebate" cycles I'd definitely appreciate the insights. I'd like to buy it by the beginning of April for an upcoming trip - when would the summer rebate start?

It may sound silly, but the consumer's most powerful weapon is their wallet... Want to teach Canon a lesson? Spend your money.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
I don't think they have many if any in the program right now. Some fellow storm chase buddies suggested this as they took advantage, but when I called (both for the 5Dm2 or 7D) they said "those cameras are not in the program any longer". I think the call taker meant 'at this time', but unless you have time and are willing to call everyday to check up on availability, it's gonna be near impossible to take advantage of the Loyalty Program for the HDSLR cameras.justsomedude said:

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
In the end, I decided to buy new, however I went through Best Buy ($1699) since I could pick it up immediately and they price matched the SanDisk 16gb Memory card (from $299 to $125) listed on B&H's website (they wouldn't match the vendor on Amazon selling them at $86). I also "financed" it via BB since they had zero interest for 18 months. Saves more room for lenses, mic, tripods, etc. for my new business.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
When did you call? I called late last week (IIRC), and the lady at Canon said the 7D was available for purchase through the loyalty program (for ~$1087 + taxes). You can try calling again to ask. Of course, they may have taken the 7D back out of the program (perhaps such a move is related to the rebates). FWIW, the lady I spoke with (who was very professional and helpful, actually) did confirm that the 5D MKII was not in the program.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20
I asked a dealer I like what's up with the apparent price increases that go with "rebates." The answer is that legitimate dealers are complying with Canon policy re advertising. He said he'd be happy to work a deal with me to make the rebate real. Helps to ask!
