It has been a while since I’ve posted one of these updates, but I’ve just updated the DEALS page on this site to include some holiday offers at site-sponsor B&H, including deep discounts on a large group of Canon lenses and speedlites, Canon DSLR/lens bundles for six of their cameras, a Nikon D600 offer, a deal on the Sony Alpha and lenses, specials from tripod manufacture Manfrotto

Canon is running its annual spring rebate program between now and July 11, 2009. A number of DSLR bodies (with lens kits), lenses, and flash units are included. Canon has wisely switched from the old mail-in rebate system (which created a lot of problems when buyers encountered problems obtaining their rebate checks) to a much better “instant rebate” system under which the price reduction is given at the time of sale. Since most of these products are rarely if ever offered at sale prices, if you are ready to make a purchase and can time it for the “rebate season,” some good discounts are available.

The following list of rebate items links to B&H Photo|Video. If you choose to purchase through these links to B&H your purchase helps support this web site. (You get the same regular B&H prices.) Thanks in advance!

Be sure to download and read the rebate terms. Not all Canon products are eligible and there are specific conditions and dates that you must observe. (Note that I could not find B&H links to a few of the items listed on the rebate forms.)
