While the Canon rebates program officially ended on Saturday, 2/2/13, there are some rebates that have been extended, others seem to be still alive. With the exception of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, all other DSRLs that were part of the rebates program are still discounted. EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 60D, EOS 7D, and Rebel T4i/T3i/T3 rebates have been extended to February 16th.
Unfortunately the lens rebates appear to be definitely over. However, top rated eBay seller getitdigital (99.6 % positive ratings) has the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for [shoplink 10321 ebay]$839.99 (click here)[/shoplink].
Interestingly, the Canon EOS 6D, no longer part of any rebates program, is now sold for the same price as when the rebates were alive, that's $1899 (Amazon | B&H | Adorama) for the body only, and $2499 (Amazon | B&H | Adorama) for the 6D with the EF 24-105 f/4L IS lens. Please note that the final prices show up after having added the item to the cart. The EOS 5D Mark III's price sadly returned to $3149 for the body only ([shopcountry 2431]), making the EOS 6D even more attractive.
