An insanely hot Cyber Monday eBay Frenzy Deal saved for last:
6th Ave via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (import) for $2699.99. This is the new lowest-ever price for the 5D Mark III + 24-105L kit. The previous low was $2899 from the same dealer, on eBay.
This is a really hot deal because the lens (brand new, white-box) typically goes for about $600 — netting you a brand new 5D Mark III for only $2099.
This is for an import model, where the store provides a 1-year store warranty — read our FAQ about imports models for answers to the usual questions about imports, warranty, and unauthorized dealers.
Another argument for how hot this deal is: it’s $500 less than our already low street price and a full $1000 less Canon’s MAP of $3699 AR for this camera + lens combo.
And remember to sign up for ebay bucks! You get $54 back!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh, now you tell me! I bought before I enrolled in ebay bucks, but no worries, I called ebay and they gave me the bucks! Thanks for the heads up Hernan!
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tip! Never used this before … damn!
Wow
If they can sell them this cheap. Why can the US cameras be a little cheaper?
It’s the import taxes that get you (plus processing fees)
A lot of this price difference has to do with the large appreciation of the US$ vs. other currencies, as a result resellers can arbitrage by buying foreign bodies and importing them. Authorized dealers must buy from Canon USA and don’t get the choice.
There you go Billy
Damn man if only il had $2700
I just bought my new camera and am going to hold off on the 5D 3 because the 5D 2 is still killing it in the studio stuff
I bought one when the deal was $2399 for 5d3 body only. The camera is wonderful!
I think they still have the body for $2399. Only $300 more for a great L lens.
Super cheap
I would buy if I could get it fixed when something goes wrong
In the first year you have the store warranty (even though Canon is known to service grey market goods as an unwritten policy). After the first year, Canon will repair it (if you pay them), just like any other body. So your “import” issue only affects the first year of ownership.
So tempting

Canons the best…
So Canon will not touch it even if you are paying for it to be fixed after the warranty is up?
No, Canon will repair it (if you pay them) when the warranty is up, just like any other body.
I read this ebay listing and 6ave says there will be a 15% restocking fee just in case you want to return this? is this ture?
Yes, if it’s not defective, they charge a large restock fee, so please make sure you want this before you order it.
If the item is defective or not as described, they waive the fee.

If a retailer throws in the pixma pro-10 at the same price …im dooooomed. 🙂
haha.
Giovanni Lazo good deal I wish I had the $$

Right price,wrong camera.
Get a refrub body on the Canon site… great warranty, have to get them quick when they come up but got mine a year back for around $2400.
Yes, also a great option, but with this deal you get a 24-105mm f/4L IS USM with your body for the same price.
Don’t need that F4 lens when I have primes and 2.8’s
Well you can still sell it for $600. Thats what I did and you end up getting a body for $2100-$56 from ebay bucks…

The BIG mistake was when you stopped making cameras that use the Compact Flash Cards. The newer cards are too small and too light too easy to drop and to lose.
I don’t understand what you’re talking about, the 5D Mark III takes either CF cards or SD (or both).
Many laptop computers these days have SD card readers built in. None have a CF. Customer convenience.
Thanks – I think I’ll take this now over the B&H 5D Mk3/24-105 and Pixma Pro-10 printer deal package … thought that was good (and it is) but I’d have to sell the printer, wait for the rebates, get cash from the card, etc … this is a much, much better deal and less hassle too! No tax, no shipping and $54 back. Geez, I’m heading for the buy button now!
And, it appears that B&H deal has ended … but, either way, this smokes that (despite being import).
And, since I saw the comment on Facebook … the Canon refurb and 24-105 refurb under the Canon Loyalty Program are 2447.28 + 643.44 = 3090.72 (although, the 24-105 might not be avail under this anymore and could be 785 now). So, this beats that by a long way too.
Old camera with an old lens , I’ll pass
So the older you get the worse your images are. got it.
Thanks but no thanks canon. You’ve lost me forever.

i have this 5D, Super
What’s the best Canon for video applications?
Damm, i just got another 5d mk3 3 days ago, for 2,449$ but no lens 🙁
Very good price
Is there a possibility of these import items to be fake? Can someone make sub standard Camera bodies with Canon name on it?
Beware !!!! This camera has no warranty!!! Canon will not touch it along with any authorized dealer. It’s a grey market camera, whatever warranty they offer is worthless!!!!
Stephen, you may not have the full picture. Here’s an excerpt from our imports / grey market FAQ:
Do I get a Canon USA Warranty?
The official answer is no, Canon USA will only service a USA model camera bought at an authorized dealer. This is why the store often provides a 1 year store warranty, equivalent to the warranty provided by Canon USA.
The answer on the street is: Canon USA will service anything — USA model or grey market — provided you have a receipt showing you purchased it within the last year. Canon stands behind their products. They’ll never admit this policy in writing though, so it can be subject to change at any time and without warning; you should be comfortable with the chance you may need to rely on the store warranty, should Canon USA change their policy within the year.
After one year, your camera is out-of-warranty, and you have to pay for service (just like any other camera, authorized dealer or not). Canon will gladly accept grey market items for paid service, unlike Nikon, which refuses to repair a grey market body, even if you’re paying them.
Wow Stephen, it’s a good thing you did the TINIEST bit of research before you said something stupid……
Thanks Greg, but the explanation above is crap and you’re a fool if you buy into it. Canon WILL NOT COVER THIS GREY MARKET CAMERA. But go for it your seem to have it all figured out.

Panasonic gh4 blows this away.
“Import”…..darn.
Nice
Is the Canon warranty card FOR THE LENS included in the box? I understand that this is an import and may not be serviced by Canon.
