I agree, they are at least worth price checking through Bob. Exchange is 33%, plus another 2% if you use a Canadian Dollar Visa, plus still pay 5% GST, plus $25 Customs Handling fee, plus about $75 in shipping, so a 1000 U.S. item ends up costing $1,500 Canadian.

BH Photo price for Leica Ultravid 10x42 HD 1299.95 U.S. McBain's price $1175 Canadian. Lowest U.S. price I could find $945, which is $1345 Cdn even with free shipping.

Pentax KS2 DSLR Camera with 18-55mmWR Lens and Accessory Kit 649 U.S. I bought from McBains price $675 Cdn.

You guys that are finding the better deals south of the border, given today's exchange, please provide an example of what you are buying. For the life of me I can't find those deals.
