Canon camera USA Fall Winter 2007/2008 rebates

Twice a year Canon USA give good rebates or cash back on selected Canon SLR EF lens and flash. This time is cash back. Saving start from USD20 - USD135. This time round there is no camera body deal but this time the cash back is straightforward. The discount is applied to the purchase price. No more waiting for cheque from Canon or buying two or three Canon product to qualify for good deal.

There is one condition though for this deal. It is only open to US resident only. To work around that is your need a friend who stays in US and travel frequent back to home. Using online shop, you order and deliver to US friend as gift. From there find a way to ship back home. For me, I have a colleague work in US and occasionally got some colleague travel to US on business. I orders through Amazon.com. It normally gives free delivery on standard delivery. That will save you about USD10-20 on delivery.

The deal ends 13 Jan 2008.
