I've read on a couple of sites (not canonrumors.com) that Canon would raise lens prices by 10% on October 1. Is this true?

I hope not. It seems they just recently went up.

I did not here that,but it would not surprise me. Their prices have been steadily increasing all summer.[8o|][8o|]
I am sure glad I took the plunge on my 70-200 2.8 IS at the begining of the last rebates. Adorama is selling a refurb for $300 more than I paid them for new. I have no issue with Adorama refurb, I have bought some and been very pleased with it. I am just pointing out a HUGE price jump on a rumored to be discontinued/soon to be updated lens. I wish I could have got one or two more lenses at the old prices. Just all the camera cash I had at the time. Looking at some of the current pricing, it looks like it would have been an investment.[]

Went to a camera store twice in the past month and heard it from two different workers their. Also heard it from a photographer that I worked with on a BBC shoot in Monterey. They both said 10% increase come October 1st.
If you got your eye on a lens, snap it up now!
IT'S TRUE!!!! Dell, Inc had very comparative pricing on Canon accessories. Couple of days ago the580EX IIwas listed for $420 and now is $559. B&H has theirs listed for $445 which I believewas listed for $380 previously.
NO!!!!!!!! Why? With the economy the way it is, why is Canon increasing their prices?
I should have bought an extra 580exII in which I have been contemplating of doing based from the "rumors" of the increase in pricing.This would have been added to my 580EXII and 430EX. Dang it!!!
I'm pretty sure it's based on the USD vs YEN... nothing to do with the Economy.
USD is tanking right now, and as a Canadian I'm very happy
LOL...
Not if you intend on purchasing some 'L' glass. The prices have gone up compared to our 'buddies' across the 47th parallel.
Forget about buying gold, invest in 'L' glass, it seems that ROI is much higher!

The 580EXII was $420 at B&H before. It had a $50 spring rebate that took it down to $370. Hopefully fall rebates will come around and you can get it for $395.
10% lucky you................. Singapore and Brunei 20% eg EF200mm L (New) it was B$7200 in April now its B$9700
