Title: Deal on Canon 5D from Amazon and Amazon affiliate program
Post by: maunger on April 25, 2008, 08:48
Hi Y'all

I've just found and purchased a Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens thru Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/4acoq4) - $2750 for both!

Now, for full disclosure, that link includes an affiliate link for yours truly which would give me a 4% commission for your purchase. A great deal for you and a good deal for me.

I used Sy's Amazon affiliate link yesterday to purchase the camera (ETA, yes, Sy got the $110 commission :) and I think it would be great if people who are about to buy camera equipment from Amazon would let me know so they could use my affiliate ID and I'd get a little reward!

More as i figure out how to make that happen.

Now, I realize that Canon is rumored to be releasing a new version of the 5D sometime maybe this fall - but i've also heard that they may be cutting back on production of the 5D before then and they may become hard to find. So i went ahead and bought this package because i also wanted an "L" lens. So, maybe if you're thinking about getting a 5D, maybe the time is now?

here is the link for the 5D body only (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Y791C?ie=UTF8&tag=saouri-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0007Y791C) which says they only have 3 left right now...


Thanks
Mitch

I see, you used Sy's affiliate link to benefit yourself, not content with your savings you then try to hijack his future commissions. Nice.

No, Sy got her $110 commission off of my purchase and we discussed figuring out a way to help each other get more... I've done nothing wrong here. I'm sorry if i didn't make my first post clear. She did get the commission!

No problemo - in fact, i modified my original post a little to try to make sure i didn't confuse anyone else.

Just to add to the spam of the whole thing... i've decided that since i got the camera on Friday and i'm absolutely thrilled with the quality, i'm gonna start blogging about what i'm learning with the 5d. (http://web.mac.com/maunger/5DWorld/Welcome.html)

@Maunger: You might want to add an amazon-store to your blog, kind of "gear/ books I have and recommend" or "Things on my wishlist".

@massman Yes, Mitch used my link and it worked ;-) but before anybody things that I can retire now, amazon has a 60days gap before they pay you  ;)

Personally I find offensive all the posts where people have their referal links to their portfolio at the bottom.

Well, i guess you shouldn't be around this site then because it was specifically designed with that in mind. Leaf is just trying to assist people with making money. And, it helps if you want to go see a person's portfolio at a specific site.

thanks for the clarification Maunger, and the invitation to leave since I don't agree with you
