Examples of "skewed" Canadian pricing. Henry's (Toronto) versus B&H.
B&H isn't even a discount store.

B&H is selling the Canon 40D for $1300 US, I bought mine in Canada
(Montréal) for $1359. To me that was the same, the shipping from B&H
would
have eaten the difference and I would have to pay taxes in both cases.

Pentax SMC FA 50mm 1.4
Camera Canada: 283.00$ CAN (325$ in some store)
Adorama: 189.00$ US
The 2 new DA* lenses from Pentax are 25-30% cheaper in the states. (1000$
16-50 and 1300$ for the 50-135).


Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Camera Canada: 1977.00$ CAN (ON SALE, regular price is 2242.19$ Canon,
almost 900$ more than Adorama !)
Adorama: 1399.00$US

Canon 10-22 is also 300$ cheaper in the States.

Any Canon lens over 1000$ is always a lot cheaper in the states. Sometimes
you can save more than 1000$-$2000 on 1 lens.

400mm f2.8L IS USM EF Lens:
Cameracanada: $7716.00$ CAN
B&H: 6500.00$ US for the US one and 6399.00$ US for the grey market one

Remember you save another 3% buying from the states, the exchange rate is
now 1,0350.

Advantages:

Support local business
No warranty issues
No time waiting for delivery

Shop around, prices are not the same everywhere

I thought I already covered this? The BODIES don't differ much in
price. It is EVERYTHING ELSE that does.
Example: Canon 70-200mm f2.8 I.S.
B&H: $1699.95
Henry's: $2199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A 30 PERCENT HIGHER
PRICE!!!

Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM is currently 1575.00$ US until Jan 13 2008. (125$
instant rebate http://www.adorama.com/pdfs/rebates/canonIR_011308.pdf ).

Anyone knows if we will get those rebates ?

There is a refurbished one at 1399.00$ US.

But according to the liars at Henry's, at that price, you're saving
$400.00!!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS!!!

SO DON'T BUY ANYTHING AT HENRY'S DOLT!

And your point is? Why don't you also show European and Asian prices.

The store can't control the prices, it's based on about a 10% mark-up
from their cost.

Boy, are YOU deluded.


Ya think? So Mr. Expert what does a store selling a Nikon D200 pay Nikon
Canada for it?




Hey stop that nonsence. What nobody understands is that canadians will buy
US and maybe I say maybe the canadian dealers will understand that they
have advantage to lowers the prices that is if they understand( they are
somtimes hard headed).
I'm a canadian myself.

But if I compare net prices, the price dealers pay to Canon Canada or Nikon
Canada, it is impossible to lower prices to US levels. Example, the EF Canon
100/2 lens. Canon Canada wholesale price (what a store will pay) is $650CAD,
the lowest price I found in Canada retail is $729.99CAD (or a huge $80
markup) B&H sells it for $375.00CAD (USD $390). So your market model is buy
high, sell low a mere $275CAD loss.
