Cashback for Christmas: Camera promotions

Manufacturer: Canon
Promotion: 20th Anniversary Cashback
Cashback Value: £5-135 per product
Canon has extended its cashback promotion from the first half of 2007 to 31 December. To celebrate 20 years of the EOS brand, you will be able to benefit from cashback across a range of cameras, lenses and accessories. Canon reckons you can save over £1,000 if you buy all 24 products, but you'd have to have had a fair few tenners in cards from aunties and uncles to do it.

The offer includes £50 off the EOS 400D -- around £370 for the body only -- and the recently launched EOS 40D -- pictured, around £700 for the body only. A much more substantial £135 is offered off the full-frame EOS 5D, which currently costs about £1,300.

Various other lenses and accessories have varying amounts knocked off. For more details and a list of products, head for canon-europe.com/2007promotions. Once again, you need to send a receipt and barcode and you'll be reimbursed by cheque or by electronic transfer direct to your bank. Which technically means it isn't cashback -- oh what the heck, it's Christmas!
