Prices are generally cheaper in the states, but you have to factor in 
the shipping costs.   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.

Cheers,
