[jackvdbuk]

would it be OK to say that say canon have rebates all the time? or there abouts?

[SiM]

Never understood the point of rebates... why not just have a lower RRP!

[HSK]

I guess, it can also be way of them getting a definite answer and record to who owns what camera, and from what date.

[kalniel]

That and a large proportion of people don't bother to claim them.
