Canon Offers 2008 Spring Rebate Program

Don’t buy Canon gear today if you’re planning to buy some. Buy them on Sunday, May 18 – that’s when this spring’s Canon rebate program starts.

Canon offers substantial discounts on cameras and lenses, and they are instant – no forms to fill up, no coupons to clip – just the good old price markdown. You simply pay a lower price for what you buy.

The rebates range from $300 for an EOS 5D and $200 for an EOS 40D to $15-125 for Canon lenses and $15-30 for flash units.
