Canon 7D and Lens/Flash Rebates March 7th - April 3rd

[neuroanatomist]

Ready to pull the trigger on a new Canon lens or Speedlite flash? You'll save some money by waiting two days (and even more if you're buying a 5D2 at the same time)... (EDIT: scroll down for the 7D rebate flyer)

Ran across this info on CR, and downloaded the above from the Canon website using THIS LINK (took a few tries to pull it down).

i was hoping for that too,...i would guess that option would be available with the fall 2010 rebates..

This may be the 5DMkII rebate. Usually the Canon Spring rebates do not start until April or May.[^o)]

i bought my 5D on a fall rebate that did not require a lens purchase, the closer to a newer 5D (mark III in this case) would probably warrant


a rebate on the camera alone.

In addition to the above, there are also rebates on the 7D, both without and with lenses:

(and lucky for me that I found this on CR a couple of minutes ago, since I ordered a 7D body from Amazon a few hours ago - literally! - and was able to cancel it so I can place the order again on Sunday once the rebate is in effect, and have that extra $100 to put towards my next lens purchase...)

That 7D AF system should be a nice upgrade to your 40D!

Same here. I was actually contemplating the refurb 7D from Adorama but I think for $200 new is the way to go.


The Servo in my 40D was driving me nuts today shooting surf pics. When I got home and downloaded the images, so many were out of focus.

Let the kvetching stop....I've been on the fence about upgrading to the 7D and this ad mademy decision easier.


I rented the 7D acouple of weeks ago for 2 reasons; to test it's AF (compared to the 40D)at a college hockey game in a bad light situation andin the songbird environment in my backyard....it puts the 40D to shame.


I rec'd an email yesterday from the Ad Group I was shooting the hockey gamefor and the opening word was "WOW".


Secondly I wanted to see ifthe 7D's ability in low lightwould help the 100-400....it did....quite a bit.


The 1 downside....I have to buy more memory, the 8 gig cards filled up at 300RAWpix....I think I can live w/this. LOL


After reading this thread, it looks like they're may bea few more 40D's on E-Bay.
