Here's a link to the rebate flyer on the Canon website. This is an 'instant-rebate', so there is no 'claim form' or paperwork to fill-out. You get the rebate at the time of purchase. The prices listed on the Amazon website INCLUDE the rebate. This is very convenient and saves you all the time/trouble of submitting a 'claim form' -- thanks Canon!

Here's a link to all these items on Amazon.com with pricing. I checked-out pricing on these items on Amazon and Amazon is selling these items at the same or less than B&H, Dell, etc. Support this site buy clicking through the links on this page when you buy. Thanks!


Some additional notes:

Canon 5D @ $1900 is amazing. This camera originally came to market for $3300. Full-frame for $1900 - wow!

Canon 40D @ $940 is also an amazing deal.
