Buying a Canon D10 in Toronto
Guys,
Wife is there with work, and wondered about the best place to buy a D10 in Toronto. Questions 1) Are they a lot cheaper there than in the UK? £1,250 GBP = 2,814.11 is good price I can find for body only. www.jessops.co.uk 2) Is it worth paying the extra for a UK warranty, and peace of mind that gives? 3) Would we be able to reclaim any Canadian Tax back? 4) Would we get VAT slapped on it coming into the UK? 5) Anyone suggest a store in Toronto in a central area of the city? All comments welcome. |

There are a number of shops in downtown Toronto: - biggest is Henry's http://www.henrys.com/ 119 Church Street 10D is CAN$ 2499.99 + 15% PST&GST - Aden Camera 364 Yonge St & 348 Yonge St. I second that... very nice shops, nice and helpful staff - knows the concerns of international buyers best of all, if you just want to wander around the rather large shop checking out what's there - they'll leave you alone You should be able to claim your GST back when leaving the country, the camera shop can help. and be careful with that!!! There is an official form (Canadian government) and another one which looks pretty official. The difference is that one will charge you for handling besides offering to credit your VISA or whatever. AFAIK the government will only send you a check, but not charge for handling. Upon exiting the country you'll have to get your receipts stamped by customs. They'll check the merchandise - so you'd better keep it handy and not stuff it under piles of used underware or other embarassing things. Don't know about the warranty, but I'd rather be safe depending on price difference. ask the shops about warranty... At the very minimum, they'l let you send in your camera. Canon and Nikon will refuse warranty on CAN hardware - at least in Austrialand. |

Guys,
Thanks for all responses. In the end decided the hassle of getting it back over the pond for repai far outweighed the benefits of the cheaper price. Also, someone else has advised of a lower UK price that I hadn;t seen, also EOS Magazine is carrying a £100 cashback off a camera or £200 of a camera and lens, so I can get a UK warrantied model for around the £1100 mark. Cheers ************************************ Remove BRAIN to reply.....ALSO...... When replying by mail include USENET in the subject please. My mail filters will then let your message through.
