man...a few weeks late...good thing I got their lenses on sale

damn this is a great deal...

Nikon guy here

I'll throw it out there...its not as amazing of a deal as they make it out to be...

3 weeks ago, the lenses listed on that list were each about 125 dollars off...and the speedlite was on sale too.

So now, if you buy 1 lens and 1 body and 1 flash, you will save the same amount you could a few weeks ago, with the same items...except, if you got 2 lenses, you saved another 125

Yeah, decent deal, but not spectacular really. Buying a 40D, 24-70 lens and the flash at Adorama would be $2,510, so the $200 savings is less than 10%. The flash is a spendy unit though, over $400.

Good deal if you were planning on buying a Canon outfit anyway, but not really much incentive to buy the package over competitive brands. It is for serious gear though, with those bodies and L lenses only. But it seems to be positioned as a market grab from Nikon, as existing Canon users at this level are likely to already have a few lenses and flashes. In that case, I'd expect a larger incentive.
