[uklamen]

Too bad for us, shipping and import fees probably would have killed it.

No go for Ottawa, guessing it's Canada in general.

Hi,

Is this rebate applied to the current price or on regular price as specified on Amazon website, that is $899.98 ? Anyone knows that ?

Thanks

Thomas

[ahson]

Amazon will not ship this to Canada. No deal for anyone who lives in Canada. Case closed unless you actually have a US address to ship to.

[ThomasTran]

My question is not about the shipping adress, I know that from previous posts .

[hooky]

Amazon will not ship this to Canada. No deal for anyone who lives in Canada. Case closed unless you actually have a US address to ship to.

This can be still a deal if you don't live near the border. I havent dealt with this company yet but they do a package forwarding service it seems described on their website.
I've driven by their location as its very close to the Blaine truck border crossing.

[opus]

Until Nov. 21, 2009 you can actually get $200 off

http://www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/Promotions/rebate_eos_110109.pdf

Also, if you are uncomfortable with the vendor in this post, you can always use Costco at $899.99 plus free shipping.

Again, this is only to US Addresses.

[ThomasTran]

I have my sister who is living in USA, I can ask her to order it and bring it here for me at the Chritmas holiday. If this promotion is applied on the current price (USD $982.49), that is about 782 x 1.1 for CAD exchange rate it becomes CAD 860 . This is a really good price, the best price I can see here is from Bestbuy, last week, it was 860$ + (13% taxes) but for the body and the kit lense only, the 55-250 lens costs about 250-300 CAD here .

[ThomasTran]

Where is the Rebel T1i kit with 55-250 lens at 899.99$ ? I can not find the T1i on Costco.ca website ? I think you mean an Rebel XS or XSi something right ?

[fastcat7]

Looks like this deal just got better. $736.67 US now.

[matt4670]

would this be too advance for an entry-level guy?

Where to get the $200 discount again? After 'place the order'?

[ThomasTran]

No, all Canon Rebel Cameras are in consumer class. I have this one (paid 1073$ (950$ b4 taxes) - Bestbuy.ca on June 2009). This one has a very good LCD (920K pixels), higher ISO than previous model XSi, Video (HD too but frame rate is not good), spot metering.

would this be too advance for an entry-level guy?

[matt4670]

ok, I got it. once in a while one needs to read the fine prints.

U gotta get the kit and the lens from Amazon not 3rd party shops. Then the disccount will apply before 'place the order'.

[Bishop8]

Thanks OP. Just looking for a deal like this, and my brother can bring it up for me over the holidays. Now to see if there are any other retailer deals that might stack on top of this.....

EDIT: What does the 'S' stand for in EF/EF-S? I always thought it stood for IS, but I see there is IS/non-IS on the EF-S designations?

[tallshorty111]

Where is the Rebel T1i kit with 55-250 lens at 899.99$ ? I can not find the T1i on Costco.ca website ? I think you mean an Rebel XS or XSi something right ?

You should reread his post more carefully. He is referring to Costco US

[matt4670]

ummm....the Costco deal is $899.99 AFTER the $200 discount. Shouldn't the Amazon deal be better?

[boubouq]

This can be still a deal if you don't live near the border. I havent dealt with this company yet but they do a package forwarding service it seems described on their website.
I've driven by their location as its very close to the Blaine truck border crossing.

http://www.pacificmailandparcel.com/index.cfm

For anyone close to the Blaine border (GVR) ...

I have used p2p parcel at Point Roberts. It's not usually a long border wait time but the hours are not great for pick up. But it worked very well for me. Free to register and you just pay a small fee for parcel pick up. You still have to declare your goods and pay the price but I still find it handy from time to time. It is immediately across the border in Point Roberts and close to Delta.

http://www.p2pparcel.com/

[ThomasTran]

Yes, you have to use this link to get the lens form Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0011NVMO8/ref=dp_olp_new_map?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Both items must be sold by Amazon.

Costco price is too much higher, either B&H has that for USD 844

ok, I got it. once in a while one needs to read the fine prints.

[strife]

Thanks for the heads up on the T1i deal！

*********
Note: You can get a free UV filter!

Search for Tiffen 58mm UV Protection filter (it is usually also listed as a "you may also want" item from the T1i page).

On the right hand side, you'll see it available from other vendors. Make sure you choose the one from AMAZON.COM. If you choose from an independent retailer, it won't be free.

When you get to the final confirmation page, you'll see the additional discount of 12 bucks for the filter.

I heard it isn't all that great (causes problems with reflection, etc); read the reviews. But free is free :D

Courtesy of slick deals.
*********

I actually went for this exact same deal, but with the XSi + Lense at Amazon.com for 650 US shipped to a friend. With the price drop, I"ll gladly pay 100 more for the T1i.

Amazon.com has an amazing return policy, so I can return the XSi for full refund and free shipping back to them.

[xraykid]

EDIT: What does the 'S' stand for in EF/EF-S? I always thought it stood for IS, but I see there is IS/non-IS on the EF-S designations?[/QUOTE]

The "S" in EF-S stands for "short back focus", which means that the rear element of the lens is closer to the image sensor than on regular 35 mm SLR cameras.

The cameras that can use the EF-S mount are:

EOS 300D/Digital Rebel
EOS 350D/Digital Rebel XT
EOS 20D
EOS 20Da
EOS 400D/Digital Rebel XTi
EOS 30D
EOS 450D/Rebel XSi
EOS 1000D/Rebel XS
EOS 40D
EOS 50D
EOS 500D/Rebel T1i
EOS 7D

How can you get 2 others promotions ?

It's weird, on the PC of my sister the price was increased to 749.xx for the Camera, on my PC , items in the shopping cart still have same price, so I have to placed the order quickly for a total of $746.76 :cheesygri

[saint2e]

Had to pull the trigger on this. Absolutely had to. I've been looking at deals for this camera/lens combo for a while, and nothing has been this good.

I've got a friend in the US who explicitly said that I could ship things to her and go and get them.

The Camera Body was $749 when I got there, so a little more expensive, but this deal tied with the gift certificates I had from swagbucks, made me jump on it.

[ThomasTran]

The great thing about Canon camera is Canon Canada accepts warranty for cameras bought from USA. Nikon Canada is really suck about the warranty.

[Woodrov]

I went through the process and got to the billing section and it showed "estimated tax" of $66.59... what gives?

[jimmyche]

I went through the process and got to the billing section and it showed "estimated tax" of $66.59... what gives?

That's Washington state's Sales tax.

[Woodrov]

That's Washington state's Sales tax.

Got it, thanks.

Still a great deal.

[Bishop8]

Damn, guess the price is going up again. Just paid $792.58 (including that UV filter), as follows:

Camera itself was $749, extra lens 234.46, UV filter (effectively) $0.

Shipped it to my brother in California, so I don't think there were any taxes. Still a good deal, right?

[t_mo_t]

DAMN. this is a good deal.... i got my T1i without the 55-250 for 900CAD tax in and shipped. :(

[hrvatneah]

how much would duty be across the border? 5%?

[GYR8]

how much would duty be across the border? 5%?

There is no duty on cameras. Just PST & GST.

[strife]

Can anyone recommend a good SDHC card to go with this? I'm leaning towards the Sandisk Ultra II (extreme are too expensive).

I've read the A-Data 16gb turbo class 10 cards are rubbish and have an extremely high failure rate (often finding that out after losing important vacation/wedding photos...).

[hrvatneah]

GYR8

sweet! thanks!

[death_hawk]

Damn RFD being hard on my wallet....

I just pulled the trigger.
Amazon Prime too.... apparently the lens is now backordered. "Ship as they become available" was basically the cost of Amazon Prime.

[gmark2000]

"Estimated ship date for these 3 items: December 21, 2009 - January 4, 2010"

[death_hawk]

It's just the lens (and the filter) that's holding it up.
Camera is available.

[Bishop8]

"Estimated ship date for these 3 items: December 21, 2009 - January 4, 2010"

I wouldn't worry about that too much. I was originally quoted Dec.3-8, then got a subsequent email saying that it was going to ship Nov.19.

[death_hawk]

*facepalm*

I just got the same email.
Wasted $80 on Amazon Prime.

Oh well.... I'll put it to good use.

[ThomasTran]

RFD effect !!!

Amazon has removed the -200$ promotion (but this is from Canon). On B&H website the price is 834$.

[RazzyRas]

RFD effect !!!

Amazon has removed the -200$ promotion (but this is from Canon). On B&H website the price is 834$.

so is the deal over?

[fastcat7]

FROM B&H they have a kit with the two lenses in it and with discount applied it is $834.

If you add the lens to the T1i kit and take $200 off it is $784 but they aren't doing it that way.

Must be why the Amazon deal was such a good deal.

[ThomasTran]

Yes, that I'm wondering why B&H does not apply the price on the detail price like Amazon:
- Rebel T1i + Kit : 730$
- Lens 55-250 : 255$
- 200 rebate it should be : 785, but they give the price at 834$ for the pakage . Remember that this is the rebate from Canon .

[fastcat7]

If you refer to the canon offer, the bundle should be $899.00. I've looked at a few on line retailers and they are doing it this way. Guy at B&H said his should be $899 but for some reason it is coming up $834.
The Amazon deal was obviously a mistake as they shouldn't have taken $200 off the already discounted prices of the camera and lenses.

[ThomasTran]

Dear folk,

Do you receive your camera yet ? My sister has received just the camera yesterday, I have received an email from Amazon saying that the lens will be ship on Nov 19. I can't wait for it !!!

Regards

Thomas

P.S: just let you know, the deal is still there, till Nov 21st I think, the price is 784$ now at the check out.

Camera and filter apparently shipped, but haven't heard about the extra lens yet. There's something funny with the way they've billed me individually. I'm just waiting for the lens to ship and add it up to ensure it's collectively priced the same as I originally ordered.

[Coldfinger]

Very tempting as I have an old Rebel and some great lenses..this would fit just nicely.

Sucks for us BC buyers about the $66 US tax we have to pay in Washington.

[ThomasTran]

I just receive email from Amazon that my lens is shipped, should receive it tomorrow :lol:

[Saadsack]

Not sure if this has been posted but its pretty good deal for those who only want the one lense. Still in stock as of 7:30pm PAC time.

Too bad I already bought the XSi last year :(

how did you get the $200 discount i can't get it to work?

me too. Could some one please point it out?

[ThomasTran]

Read the post #21, you should select both the camera and the lens "Sold by Amazon LLC"

The camera is right, but the lens you have to add the one from Amazon and remove the other one

[mtl4]

So then give us a link.

GYR8

Not $658 but if you're in the US for Black Friday it's $699 at Bestbuy without the zoom lens (see digital camera section):

http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/best-buy-black-friday-ad.html


The T1i is an awesome camera (have one myself) but I suppose most looking at buying one already know that. :D

[Bishop8]

Read the post #21, you should select both the camera and the lens "Sold by Amazon LLC"

The camera is right, but the lens you have to add the one from Amazon and remove the other one

ThomasTran's correct. Also, make sure to manually select 'Free SuperSaver shipping' (which should apply to the Amazon items). I forgot and it automatically defaulted to standard $9.12 shipping. I had to contact Amazon and they credited it back. Not a huge issue, but just to save yourself an extra step.

[aoisora]

No idea about reshipping services. Best to call a location and ask. I rent a mailbox and have goods shipped there and I pick them up myself. I believe they charge non box customers $5 per package to receive.
Place is full of snow tires these days.
