Canon Cashback
 

For those Canon folk who are thinking of buying new equipment soon Canon are starting a new cash back scheme starting March 08. Follow the link to see the amounts off, I am not suggesting buying from Warehouseexpress as there is cheaper out there but they list the amounts available. To wet your apatite £100 off 40D, £75 off 100-400 L IS zoom.

In response...Nikon, Sony and Olympus are now running or due to run similar cashback incentives shortly. (Pentax?? :( )
Rather than rely on retailer websites, I would recommend keeping an eye on your favourite manufacturers website for offers where they normally appear first... spring is the season!:rolleyes:

Strangely the UK Canon web site did not make it at all clear about the cash back and although I cannot afford anything at the moment and have already bought the 40D before this cash back :( I thought it a good idea to alert other Canon owners of the upcoming offer in case they were just about to part with their cash.

Nice work Mike.
Yes, I agree the Canon website sometimes isn't the easiest to navigate

Excuse me - but does anyone actually pay the asking price these days? Cash back offers or not - no one gets my money unless they are prepared to discount the item to start with - Recent Example at C**ry's - bought 32" LCD, HD Ready TV with built in freeview - their price £649 - paid £499.99p + free screen cleaning kit - I was happy - I bet they still made a profit.

Hey Andy you get the discount and then the cashback on top of that. Why sniff at getting the lowest UK price of say 40D and then another £100 off!?!

Hi Mike - not sniffing at all - That's just what I did with my original D70 that I got via Jessops - badgered the manager and got equivalent of staff discount plus Nikon cashback on D70 kit.

That is the style!
