Canon has started up its rebate program for 2009. This is an instant rebate program too – no mailing receipts and UPC codes an then waiting 6-8 weeks. The rebate applies for purchases on qualifying Canon gear between May 3, 2009 and July 11, 2009.
Certain DSLRs are part of the program too, with savings from $100 to $300 for specific combos. The DSLRs must be purchased with a qualifying lens to get the rebate (even if you are buying a kit). Below is the full list of cameras, lenses and flashes that are subject to the rebates, along with links to the 3 retailers I trust and use on a regular basis for each of them.
