Some more Canon news for you…Canon are running a number of special promotions in the UK at the moment, including this one on the Canon EOS 1D digital SLR:

“Canon, leader in photographic and imaging technology, is pleased to announce a new promotion which will enable customers to get ?300 cash back when they purchase the Canon Digital EOS 1D with any EF lens in the Canon range. The promotion begins on 15 June 2003, and will run until 31 December 2003*. Customers will be able to claim their ?300 cash back by completing a voucher in-store, and sending it, together with recent* proof of purchase to the Canon FREEPOST address detailed on the reverse of the voucher. Canon will then credit ?300 directly to the customer’s bank account.”

They are also offering ?30 off a Canon scanner when you buy a Canon EOS 300 kit, or ?60 when you buy a Canon EOS 30 kit, with full-page adds in the 7 June edition of Amateur Photographer magazine.

I’m not sure if this kind of promotion is just in the UK or not, so if you know of a similar deal in your part of the world, for any manufacturer, then let me know and I’ll spread the word.
