Canon is giving cashback on cameras and printers, unfortunately not on lenses :(
Has to be from stores selling Australian stock. From the terms and conditions -
"Canon-branded products, whether new or used, that have been sourced by end-users, distributors or retailers from any source other than through Canon Australia and the Canon Australia Distribution Channel (including ‘grey’, ‘parallel’ or ‘direct’ imports) are not Canon Australia products and therefore would not constitute Eligible Purchases."
I enquired at Macquarie Center JB Hi Fi. They were willing to do the 6D for 1750. Minus approx 9% GST (travelling overseas next month), minus 200$ cashback, the 6D would cost 1400$ :-) Similarly, they were happy to do the 5D for 3120. After similar calculations, it would cost 2636 :-)
Enjoy full frame photography!
Agreed - no cashback on standalone lens purchases, but if you buy a "kit" that includes a lens (or two!) then I think the cashback still applies. The list of eligible "Body and Kits" are in Canon's T&C's.
Edit: Not saying that this post is a bargain, but rep is certainly saying that cashback applies to kits (e.g. 700D single lens kit)…
