If you are in the market for a Canon 7D or a Canon 5D Mark II and a lens, March 7, 2010 – April 3, 2010 is a great time to buy one. Canon is offering 2x the rebates for lenses if you pick up the 5D Mark II at the same time.
Historically, the 580 EX II had a $50 instant rebate during Winter 2009, so the rebate isn’t as good (unless you buy the 5D Mark II at the same time) The $100 off on the 7D looks like a great deal, especially for such a new camera. One of my favorite lenses for indoor use is the 16-35mm, $200 off w/ the 5D II is a good deal.
I typed up the hightlights from the flyers below.
Flashes:
$15 instant rebate for the Canon 430 EX II ($30 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
$25 instant rebate for the Canon 580 EX II ($50 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
Lenses:
$30 instant rebate for the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM ($60 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
$80 instant rebate for the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM ($160 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
$100 instant rebate for the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II SM ($200 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
$130 instant rebate for the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM ($260 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
$500 instant rebate for the Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM ($1000 if you buy the 5D Mark II)
Cameras:
Canon 7D (body only) $100 instant rebate = $1699 – $100 rebate = $1599 MSRP
Canon 7D EF 28-135mm IS kit $100 instant rebate = $1899 – $100 rebate = $1799
Canon 7D EF 18-135mm IS kit $100 instant rebate = $1999 – $100 rebate = $1899
