<p>Adorama has a pretty good batch of deals this week but you’ll have to use the “Buy together and save” text link under the star-ratings in order to get the deal (worth it, since a $20 item will save you $100), like so:</p>

For a brand new flash that’s only about a year-old now it’s hard to beat a price around $400. If you haven’t made the jump to the “RT” system yet, take a look at <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/reviews/review-canon-speedlite-600ex-rt/" title="Canon 600EX-RT review" target="_blank">Justin’s review</a> and maybe he’ll convince you to make the switch.</p>

Great deal on the 600EX-RT. I picked up my second one.

 

[av4rice]

Isn't the Lightscoop for pop-up flashes? Funny that they're bundling it with incompatible hotshoe flashes and a camera body that doesn't have a pop-up flash.

 

[ewg963]

That's a good deal on the 600.

 

[Chris Burch]

I guess this was a very short-term sale. It's 7:40pm and I can't get the sale price to pull up with or without the LightScoop.

Hi,
I'm guessing Proffesor Kobre wants to up his sales stats for what may essentially be a waste of money gimmick or it may not, I don't know, but how better to improve sales than bundle it with something people will want and make it save more than it costs them.

Cheers Graham.

Soooo disappointed I missed the 600EX-RT deal. I immediately clicked over to buy 3, but they are $549 now, light scoop or no. My 580EX-IIs and pocket wizards will remain my trusty workhorses for now.

Thank you, CanonRumors. I've been looking for the 430EX II flash and the price was great.

 

[CarlTN]

Looks like they've returned to their pre-holiday price levels for the 5D3 and 6D.

 

[RGomezPhotos]

I wonder why the fire sale? I bought my used 580 EXII for just a few dollars a year ago...

I was tempted...but the three I have (plus an ST-E3-RT) are sufficient for my current needs.

I still have a PW setup (TT1 + AC3, 2x TT5, and a PowerMC2), which I keep mainly because it's the way to radio trigger my Einstein. The Canon -RT system is far better than the PW in terms of reliability and ease of setup...so much so, that if I'm using one or more 600's with the Einstein, I just rely on the monolight's built-in optical slave trigger. The only thing I like better about the PW setup is the AC3 – there's no faster way to adjust flash power on the fly (but it's limited to three groups).

I got in on the 600EX deal! But not from CR's post unfortunately by the time you had posted I think the deal was done.

Try subscribing (click notify button) on www.canonpricewatch.com I got e-mailed about this deal hours before the CR post!

But thanks for posting anyway!

B&H has the 600exrts on sale for 470.00 straight up. The 2x 600exrt + STE3RT is on sale for just over 1100.00.

Both are just a bit higher priced than their lowest price during the holiday sales.

 

[DanielW]

Isn't the regular price irregularly high? ???

Depends on your needs and budget. I find these flashes to be highly useful and think the price is well worth the functionality and feature set.

I agree, but what I meant was the regular price shown here seems to be a little higher than what I am used to see, supposedly to make the discount seem even more attractive than it really is. Not sure, though.

I bought 4 of these back in July 2012, when the price dropped from $629 to $599, and B&H ran a short promotion for an additional $20 off. I thought I was getting a bargain!

When I was using 580-II's, I always had to carry an owner's manual with me, whenever I was doing a multi-flash shoot at a remote site. The 600's menu system is so easy that I no longer need to refer to a manual. And the elimination of line-of-sight for slave triggering is a godsend.

 

[DanielW]

Yes, that alone makes it worth it!

The 600EX adorama deal was pretty sweet, but B&H was running a kit that had the ST-E3 bundled with 2 600's for $1079 shipped for a while during the rebate timeframe that ended early Jan.

Was honestly a little surprised that no one seemed to think much about it. Wound up picking two kits myself, selling the extra ST-E3, paying $400 and change for each speedlite when it was all said and done.

EDIT: Looks like the deal is still nearly as good! $1120 for the kit (was something like $1250 last i checked)
