Many manufacturers have introduced rebates programs. Usually new products are not introduced when there is an ongoing rebate campaign, which also means slow times for the rumor mill. Also, all major players are preparing for Photokina (coming up in September, 2010) and don't want to show their cards in advance.

Here are the latest rebates:

• Nikon extended their instant rebate program till May 1st.

• Tamron rebates: up to $80 back by mail on select Tamron lenses.

• Canon:

Canon 50D: $100 rebate
Canon 50D + 28-135mm: $100 rebate
Canon 50D + 28-135mm and 70-300mm: $250 rebate
