It seems like Canon’s rebate program for DSLRs and lenses gets extended longer and longer – to the point where it now seems like there are a couple of months or so each year where Canon just hoses consumers on marked up prices on certain lenses and cameras.
That being said, the Canon rebates that were set to expire at the beginning of January were extended until February 2, 2013. After that, prices are probably going back up to “ordinary” retail price points. As a result, if there is a hot DSLR or lens that is high on your list of things to buy, now would be a good time to pick one up.
