Price trend for 70D

Yep; it's the current instant rebate program and expires on May 24th. I'd anticipate a return to MSRP $1100 for the body after that date.

Hi,
any news on prices? Here in Italy the online prices for the only body 70D is around 790€-890€.

Currently it's $1,099 (US).

All reports are for a new canon camera to be released sept 16 at photokina. I would wait til then to see it's effect.

Here is the Amazon.com(US) price trend as reported by the CamelCamelCamel.com web site.

I got mine for 949.00 (US) with free stuff (bag, memory card, lens wipes and other junk) as part of the Xmas sales at B&H. They ran the sale until Jan 1.
I think the best prices are right around that time of year.

Canon cameras tend to keep their price until they are discontinued. The 7D kept its price point until just recently...where Canon no longer mandated it keeping a MSRP. More rumormill then that it's going to be the big news for the camera intro in September. I'd expect the 7DmkII to be the big news...since Canon releases the XXD series more regularly, perhaps there may be an 80D. But then again, if you look at the overall cycle of the XXD series, I don't see it being released this year.
