Stock now down to 14, I got another call from another Canon rep following up on their e-mail notice.

What's the canon loyalty program? Is it something like you trade in old equipment? Is a refurb 5D2 worth 1500-1700? I don't know how to tell if that's actually a good deal.

The Canon loyalty program is something where you can get 20% most refurbished Canon cameras by trading in any old, used Canon camera (point-n-shoot, DSLR, digital, film, etc) even if it's broken. I don't think all the refurbished cameras qualify but most do. You have to call Canon to verify what qualifies and if it's in stock. If you want something you also pay tax+shipping on the discounted price of the refurb being purchased. But I think they send you a shipping label to send them the old trade-in.

Overall it's a pretty sweet deal, IMHO

The number for the Loyalty Program is 1-866-443-8002

btw - I've heard of some people picking up an old broken Canon point-n-shoot or film camera in a pawn shop or off craigslist for dirt cheap and using that to get 20% off a nice DSLR.

Better get one now before the new 'consumer' FF comes out and the 5DmkII's are not available anywhere. You'll be sorry if you wait.
