Canon is now offering a CarePAK PLUS package for free on a number of their most sought after cameras and lenses. For select Canon bodies and lenses bought from authorized Canon retailers between April 30th and July 8th, Canon will provide an extended 13-month warranty that covers your purchase from all manners of ailments.

As a nice kicker to the deal most of these items are also offering rebates of hundreds off and packed with items like extra batteries and so on, and also happen to be among Canon’s finest offerings in both body and lens departments (list at foot).
