This is a crazy deal for the much maligned EOS M.

Though with the new firmware updates, even the bad reviews shouldn't make it hard to pick this guy up at $300 (+$150 for the EF/S adapter as well)

Canon EOS-M Mirrorless Digital Camera with EF-M 22mm f/2

Really? Not even worth 299?

Oops I fixed my original post. I meant to say it's a no-brainer at 299

Holy shit, that's a good deal. Would've been a better deal than my $400 GH2 for a second video camera.

But I'm holding out for a X100s or OM-D as my compact system camera.

Really considering picking the EOS M with the 22mm f/2 to replace my D3100 + 35mm f/1.8. I mostly shoot food photos and the form factor of a mirrorless system combined with the $300 price tag with a fast prime is looking really appealing

Priced it out: $335 shipped to my door via BH with Purolator (taxes and fees in). But their EF/S adapter is sold out

On that note, FS was selling the adapter for 99. If only I saw it earlier

EOS M is pretty good after the firmware update. I ordered 1 for my friend from Canon Online for $350 which included the camera, 18-55mm, and flash.

I woulda ordered one for myself but I already own a Nex 5R as my secondary camera.

Heard today that the EOS-M was discontinued. I hope my backorder goes through. Or should I just pick up the 18-55 mm kit and get the 22 mm lens somewhere else?

Adorama sent me an email today saying they would be unable to fulfill my order, and were cancelling it on my end.

Edit: Amazon looks like they got stock again.

$199 is actually pretty cheap for a zoom lens actually. You're probably not gonna get much cheaper unless you buy used.

EOS M + 18-55 is back at $349.

Looking for a deal on travel tripods, softboxes and light stands.

I found someone selling on CL for 150. but the ad is like a month old so if he doesnt get back to me in a couple days ill most likely pick it up from London Drugs at 199.

Took all the self-control I had to not add this to cart:

REFURBISHED NIKON D800 D-SLR BODY 33753B

Refurbed D800 for 2300+tax (didn't check how much shipping was to BC)

A HUGE chunk off MSRP. Yeah it's refurb, but it still has a 1 year warranty with Nikon, and not to mention they have a service center here.

Ugh another deal to tempt my wallet:

Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Camera Mounted Flash 5296B002 - Vistek Canada Product Detail

For the lazy, that's a Canon 600EX-RT for $420 from Vistek. PM at ME for a small discount off of their price ($470.00).

If you feel extra adventurous, wait until tomorrow to PM because the ME sale ends. Assuming they don't have another sale, you get 25% off a $180 difference (or 420-45 + tax = $420 for a flagship flashgun).

That said, something tells me that this Vistek deal will end tomorrow too.
