    Wow, what a deal!



    Okay, I know B&H has good prices but how can this be right? Am I missing something?


    Lexar 16GB 300x (45MB/s) CF for $70 US (advertisement in "Canon News, Nikon News" box on the TDP Community home page)

    vs


    Lexar 16GB 300x (45MB/s) CF for $329 CND

    Exchange is pretty even right now, no?


    ~80% off is pretty good!


    That's quite a sale!

    The bccamera price is bogus, unless there is some kind of extreme markup in Vancouver

    With more digging, its probably a typo - the 3 should be a 1 I think.

    Yup. I saved $100 on my SD card, a few hundred on lenses, and about $200 on the camera body by ordering from the US.


    All Canadians need to know photoprice.ca, which will show you the after tax, shipping, duty, and currency conversion (including typical 3% fee of your credit card) for the most reputable sources of photo equipment. If they only listed the Adorama refurb stock the site would be perfect.

    Thanks David. Exactly what I've been figuring out lately - the long way.

    UPS neglected to tell me their $70 brokerage fee for items $1000-$1500 only applies to ground transport and not air......thanks again for the link David.
