Specifically, they are offering $400 cash back on the 5D when you purchase one of two printers? I'm going to pull the trigger on the 5D this friday and I'm wondering if its a legit rebate and worthwhile? I'm worried about plunking $420 on a printer I don't need (with the intention I guess of turning around and selling it) and not getting my $400 bucks back from Canon... Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated? 1D Mk IV, 5D Gripped, 30D

Even if you don't need the printer, Canon is essentially giving it to you free, considering the printer costs $409 (Use the B&H code), and you get $500 rebates. Why would you not get it? You could buy it, and turn around and sell it for even more money. David (aka BigBlueDodge)

The printer has a $100 rebate on it, plus another $400 if you buy it with a 5D, for a total of $500 back. I'm meeting a gentleman tomorrow to selling the printer for $300, so that will be $800 total I get back - $420 for the printer is $380 net rebate for the 5D. I bought the 5d using the B&H code for $2149 - $380 net after rebate, means I got my 5D for $1769. I will be sending in the rebate tomorrow. Wow! As long as your diligent on following up with the rebates (tracking them) this is a helluva deal. Lotsa stuff, running outta room and a wife...I keep looking at her and wondering???
