need to purchase the lens in conjunction with a Nikon DSLR or package. When going through checkout, at the next to last page, it asks you for the promo code. If it doesn't take it, make sure that it hasn't already been applied. You should see $100 in the "gift card and promotional" fund, and it asks you whether you want it applied to your purchase (check box). I purchased my D3100 with the standard 18-55 lens, added the 55-200, and got it for $96. Great deal. Total cost of the package, camera, two lenses, case and DVD instructional video's (also free) $700. unbeatable.

Thank you so much for posting the link! I just received my printer last week and totally forgot about the rebate until today and it is no where to be found on the Canon site. You made my day.

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

Canon usually has rebates at least twice a year- usually one in the spring and one in the fall. The fall one has ended, however, a spring promotion should be coming up soon. Some are better than others. For instance, my first 580exii was a sweet $75 off, but my second purchase was only $25 off. For active rebates for Canon purchases, amazon had usually posted the related products as instant rebates. Check out http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-Lens-Rebates.aspx for a history of them and the Canon website http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional?pageKeyCode=53 for active ones.

welp. time to find a local dealer. Nikon being all mysterious with its dealers. Oh well, I'll try to be patient a little while longer.

Thanks Stitch... the address didn't come out but I found it anyhow. First click on the "Used and New" link, then add Amazon's item to your cart, then click on the item link through your cart. The rebate is listed. E.A. - I'm surprised they even told you they'd email it. The rep that responded to my email basically told me go to h---.

T.Dooley: If your are referring to the current $20 "upgraders" rebate (http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/02/40/10/05/240100530._V264287305_.pdf), then you don't need to own a previous version of the software to qualify. The rebate lists a total of thirteen qualifying products (eight of which are not even Adobe apps). In the list, you will notice Google Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/) which is a FREE application. And, as proof of ownership, they merely request "a printed screenshot of the About screen located in the Help menu of the product." The rebate doesn't expire 'til October 2009. So, if you still have your sales receipt and your software box (or at least TAB#1), then go ahead and claim your $20 (or send the paperwork to me...I could always use some gas money).

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

What is the code you tried, because I saw it in a discussion and now that i'm ready to buy I can't dind it, it expires 10/01/2011 and says if you buy a certain camera and a certain lens you get a instant discount of $200.00 $150.00 $100.00 depending on the lens.

Don't buy from "Bait & Switch" places such as A&R; - plus they sell "grey market" - do your research on line. If places like Adorama or B&H; have it used than use them. (Murphy's camera is another reputable merchant), but stay away from scum operated "bait & switch" merchants who always want to you "call to verify your purchase" (meaning we need to sell you a $50 lens cap because it does not come with it and if you want $100 warranty - lol) and if you decline the upsell offers the item becomes "backordered" :)

E: Thanks for the reply. I also wrote Amazon, and they told me: "Many of the items listed on our website are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. This information should be listed in the owner's manual for the product." I explained what gray market meant in my inquiry, but obviously they don't get it at all. The price is so low that I assumed it was gray market. I agree with you--I would never buy a Nikon product from anyone other than Amazon directly.

Ongoing rebates often have something to do with the price changes. Canonpricewatch dot com is a great resource. Shows the price history of various lenses (and gives you an idea of what month is the best month to buy) as well as where to get the best deal for the lens you want.
