if you only want the camera, best deal yet.
Until they change it again!

300mm lens is now 199 (Vs 157); it might make more sense to skip that. dunno how robmath finagled the old price, but that's hottest deal yet if he got it.

Just now checked, the deal is for &620.78 and when I asked Amazon for price match, they said they cannot do it. So ordered again and cancelled my old order which is $700.

I got the non-usm 300mm $157 from yesterday and price matched today for $499. What is better usm or non-usm?

oic. guess you updated your itemization, thought it was a fresh order, haha! usm is better, but since it's not a true ring, doesn't matter in this case. w/ the 250mm IS that 2nd lens is mostly redundant anyway.

So ordered again and cancelled my old order which is $700.refreshed, still see 499.99; dunno why they'd give you hard time; so long as it hasn't shipped and price difference isn't negligible (I think their rule of thumb is $10 or $15, thy ought to do it). hopefully that doesn't jack w/ your bundled items.

I ordered on 11/22 and got the package deal at a price of $606. The camera itself listed at $599. Today the camera is $499. I just finished a chat session with Sherin and asked if I could get credited for the $100 difference? Here is her response:
Thanks so much for waiting. Thanks for contacting us about the recent price change on the Camera. I recognize you have a choice of retailers and appreciate that you prefer to order from us. Unfortunately, we do not have a post-order price guarantee. I've reviewed your order and see that the price change is significant from the time the item shipped. Under the circumstances, I've made an exception and issued a refund for the price difference in the amount of $100.00. You should see the refund in the next 2-3 business days.
Woot! So I am now at $506 for the entire package!

^^ if it's any consolation, I'm at $627 w/ tax, but that's still one helluva deal for 3 Lens!
I got the same explanation. At the end of the day, I saved $90 and get the zoom lens, free bag and memory card. Thanks Amazon and Fat Wallet!

IMO skip the 75-300 lens since it's non-USM, does not have IS, and it's mostly redundant with the 55-250 lens.

Try doing it through their chatting feature - I seem to get better Customer service for whatever reason.
Edit: Plus it looks like the 55-250 lens increased in price from $221 to $299
They would not price match for me, but he would allow me to return the first one (free return) and rebuy at the $499. My total will be $470.80 for the camera, 3 lenses, a backpack and SD card. I cannot complain at all.

You can still get it for $499 directly from Amazon (on the right side of the page), but it just went out of stock so the $599 option shows up in the main section. When I put the camera in my cart it was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday, and by the time I hit submit I got a message saying I will get a delivery estimate later.

yes, one big bummer of this deal is to have to wait for the camera. We have the package from costco on our dining room table just saying "open me, open me, open me"!
