• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Buying lens from Walmart

That depends on who they choose to honor the sale. I really don't trust buydig for example because of a bad experience I had with them in the past. The Canon rebate states that the 2 lens's must be on the same receipt. Nevertheless I emailed CanonPriceWatch and I'm awaiting their response.

They have one or more dealers typically, and give you the choice among them. Some of them may charge a little more, but there is at least one that has the low price they quote. Dealers can be in Canada as well as the USA, they are all authorized dealers that have honored the terms of the deal.

There is also greentoe who might get you the same deal but from a different dealer.

I followed your link to Walmart.
Then decided to see if it was legit.
I went to Walmart's website and entered a search for the 100-400mm. Nothing pulled up but to the side was an add for TriState. I clicked to their website, TriState's price is $1,739.00. Walmart is re-selling for them and adding $100.00.

I am sure Walmart is an authorized Canon dealer. They sell low end Canon cameras at Walmart and Sam's.

I finally chose to utilize CanonPriceWatch’s Street Prices which connected me to Profeel Inc. They had excellent reviews and are authorized. Saved me a $100.

Congratulations on your new lens!

I bought a 100-400 II through CanonPriceWatch and Profeel in August and was extremely satisfied with the transaction. I buy all new equipment through CPW now, its a great program!

Profeel is a class act. I've purchased three lenses from them do date. I purchased the 100-400 less than a week before the solar eclipse in August, for use shooting the eclipse. I told them I needed it right away and they shipped in a matter of hours. They also checked back in a few days to make sure I received it as expected.

It was an excellent shopping experience. My next purchase is going to be either the 100mm or 180mm macro lens and I will likely utilize CanonPriceWatch again.

I've bought 2 1DX MkII's, an 11-24, a 16-35 f4 IS and the 100mm L Macro via CPW, I won't buy anything Canon without emailing Gordon first to see whats what. Can't recommend CPW highly enough, I don't think any of my stuff came from Profeel though.

P.S. I lied, my 16-35 f4 IS came from Profeel, perfect experience and highly recommended.
