Canon Announces Rebate Program

Canon is offering rebates of up to $300 on its mid-level digital SLR cameras, two dozen lenses and four electronic flash units.

The "Cash In With Canon" mail-in-rebate program began October 15 and runs through January 13.

Canon is offering rebates from $10 to $300, including $300 on the 12.8 megapixel EOS 5D digital SLR with a full frame CMOS sensor, and the EOS 30D digital SLR. Select EF lenses such as the new EF 24 -105mm f/4L IS USM and Speedlite flashes like the 580EX also qualify for the rebate. Photographers will also have the chance to double savings when purchasing different eligible Canon items to help further expand and build their EOS systems. When buying an EOS 5D Digital SLR and a select Canon EF lens, consumers can get up to $700 back. Consumers can also save up to $230 when buying the EOS 30D kit that includes the EF-S 17-85 IS USM lens.

The EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II N don't qualify for rebates, but rebates are doubled on other qualifying products bought at the same time as either of the two top-end cameras. The entry-level Digital Rebel XTi is not included at all.

"The Cash in With Canon rebate program gives users of all levels the chance to build or expand an EOS system of fine photographic gear that will give users professional level results for years to come," said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A. Inc.
