Do not use UPS for shipping under any circumstances, as they add on a hefty fee to administer the GST charges, at least $50. I purchased my new camera from B&H photo in New York, and it was 25% cheaper than Henry's in Toronto, and 40% cheaper than any supplier in Nova Scotia. So, even with shipping costs, I came out ahead. And I made sure the warranty applied to Canada as well as the U.S.. But, regardless, you have to do your homework, and be prepared to spend a bit of time on the internet to see the various options. Buyer beware.
