Thanks. Good tips. What about "duty"? Sorry to be so ignorant! I seem to
see that Dell and Amazon.com have very good prices on some of the cameras in
my range. I looked at a website that describes and compares various cameras
and claims to be "unbiased". It was http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com .

cross border problems?
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,
