Canon Camera and Lens Rebates
Canon has announced its newest instant rebate programs which will be available from April 15 - 28, 2018. In the previous two [short, 2-week] instant rebate programs, Canon progressively pared down the list of eligible items until very few items were left discounted. This time around, a lot of old friends have been added back to the eligibility list.

Canon Camera, Lens & Flash Rebates
If you were waiting until well into the new year to do your camera gear shopping, the amount you will save on the gear will likely be less than it would have been a few weeks ago. The rebates we saw this past holiday season were very good, and it's unsurprising that Canon has adjusted the rebates to more typical levels. Of course, any savings is good.
The current round of Canon instant rebates runs from January 7 to February 3. Following is a list of changes between the preceeding program and the current one.

The multiple-lens mail-in rebates available for much of the previous year were not extended. Obviously, Canon isn't obligated to offer instant savings programs, so any discount – even a lower one – is definitely better than no discount at all.
Canon Instant Savings
We knew that Canon had decided to extend their previous instant rebate program which ended Sept 2, but they hadn't actually povided specific details on the new program until now. The new rebate program runs September 3 - 30 and includes a few minor changes as noted below.
Rebate Program Changes
- Canon EOS 77D rebate range increased $50.00, from $50.00 - $400.00 to $100.00 - $450.00.
- Canon EOS Rebel Sl1 rebate range increased to $200.00 - $350.00 from $150.00 - $350.00.
- New rebates on EOS M (body) and EOS M + 15-45 IS STM ($50.00); EOS M + 18-150 IS STM rebate increased from $180.00 to $230.00
- EOS M6 rebate range increased to $50.00 - $230.00 from $50.00 - $180.00
- Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM rebate increased from $50.00 to $70.00

Canon Camera and Lens Rebates
The new Canon instant rebate program scheduled to run July 2 - 29 (with some special rebates ending July 8) features quite a few changes from the previous rebate program, and few consumers will appreciate those changes. Canon had a particularly enticing rebate program in June, but it looks they've returned to a more typical rebate incentive program this time around.
Of course, it's important to keep things in perspective; any savings relative to MSRP is certainly a good thing.
Special rebates to run July 2 - 8

- EOS 80D w/ lens kits

Also note that Canon's CarePAK Plus program with 13-months of accidental damage coverage is scheduled to end July 8.
