They appear to be ignoring the Canon list price increase - thank god.

For those interested, the Canon Direct Store has refurbished 7D bodies back in stock. They currently have 20 bodies available according to the rep. I spoke with. When I placed my order I got the 20% Loyalty discount by returning an old SD400. $1,087 with free 2-day shipping. My 7D should arrive early next week.

FTW!

Given that Canon US have announced their 2011 rebate offer, what do people think about the likelyhood of UK rebates this spring?

I am seriously considering buying the EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS mk2, but I don't want to buy a month before Canon offer a discount. At least one on-line retailer is offering the lens at £1499 "until February 28", which suggests that rebates might be just around the corner even if a little delayed.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20

Is it me or are others seeing the 7d seems to be sold out in most places real fast?

Is it just selling that well? Because of the rebate recently or is it low in stock or what?

What do you guys think? And do you guys really think the price will drop again after the rebate.

I am interested in buying one soon.

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20

I've been following the forum for a while as a guest, but finally decided to post a question.

I've been wanting to buy a Canon 60D Kit for a while and was ready to buy it before the rebate when it was selling for around $1100 on Amazon. It's currently at $1200, which isn't that bad of a difference, but that extra $100 could be used towards a new lens, memory, extra battery, etc... I'm a college student, so that $100 is A LOT actually!

Anyways, here's my question. Should I buy the camera now or wait til March 20 to buy it? I've been following the price trend on CamelCamelCamel and in theory, the price should go down after the rebate, but with the recent events, I don't know how it'll affect supplies and such. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Could the rebate on 60d and 7d and the "out of stock" on several sites indicate new product will arrive soon?
What do you think?

I don't think so... more likely it's an indicator of people getting their tax returns and having money to burn. Since the rebate began, Amazon.com has gone out of stock twice on the 7D while continuing to replenish supply on demand.

In my opinion, it's simply an indicator of the 7D's popularity that it is selling out so quickly.

Try adorama or bh photo video... They generally cheaper they dont hike their prices up that much during rebates... plus free shipping 9 out of 10 times...

Re: 60D & 7D Rebates coming February 20

So, I know this is old but I thought I'd update you guys. I ordered the 7D from Calumet about 1.30am PST on the first morning of the Rebates. I managed to get it for $1329. $200 off their list price of $1529 at the time. When I checked back the next morning they had put the price up to $1499 with the rebate and the raised list price. Apparently I must have been one of the few to purchase it in the small lag between the rebate and raise.

OK, so a few weeks pass and there is no 7D. I call them and turns out it is back ordered. Then the earthquake hits Japan and weeks turn into months. I call occasionally and get told they just don't know when my order will come in. I check my account and they haven't even charged me yet. Then about 2 or so weeks ago I check my order and account and it looks like my 7D has been processed and shipped. But how much did they charge me? $1129!!!

Thank you Calumet! Took a few months but that is fine.

Sounds like a great bargain (especially for the post-tsunami period). I guess the months in waiting were well worth it. Now you can start shooting once you get the camera ;D
