i was looking at them too purchasing a fz30 went to look at the fz7 but LOVED the 30...

are you sure no duty?

yes... I'm 100% sure there is no duty... read it on the customs websites.

yeah, no duty, but watch out for the brokage fee. So, i usually pick up at Pt Roberts.

bought the fz30 today and shipped it to THE LETTER CARRIER. $2.00 holding fee's + .75c for them to call me when it arrives... haha wicked
thanks guys for all your help

make sure you declare it when u bring it across.. you don't want to get caught and be black listed.

You can get a D50 KIT with 18-55 Nikon lens for $800 at Broadway camera in Richmond.!!!

Whoa, that's a good price.

$800?? Wow...maybe i should pick up a second body just for the heck of it..haha.

If I didn't spent 3500 dollars on goalie gear id be sporting a 20d :(

B & H just sent me an email they refuse to mail it out to THE LETTER CARRIER. he said they wont mail it out to any mail boxes. only to residential or business address..

HELP!!1

^^ really?

that is strange, b/c I bought from them a few times and had no problem getting the stuffs at Pt Roberts...

which one did you use and did you put

YOUR NAME
C/O PMB?

^^ pm u, good luck man.

Maybe the laws in the US have changed due to terrorism concerns? Just a guess.

Dude its only 7% Gst. There is no duties.

I think also PST....

its 14% i called customs and checked. but no worries i used tsb and its getting shipped out.

ahhh good to hear everything worked out for you...

yeah it's a good deal for cameras... no import duties on optical devices or something along those lines..

take advatage of the high canadian dollar! Soon our looney will break even with the US dollar.

p.s Keep your eyes peeled @ the dell.com website.. sometimes they have amazing cupon sales.... you might score a DSL body or a lens for dirt dirt cheap

thanks for all the help and advice.

when my camera gets here im sure i'll need to hook up with the experts and watch the masters at work

canon s3IS or rebel xt?

feel wise, they both arn't the greatest to me. I like the zoom and the image stabilizer on the s3is, but i feel that pictures are going to look alot nicer on the rebel. so in your honest opinion (all you pros and semi pros out there), how important do you think the image stabilizer is? i would really like the rebel xt to have an image stabilizer too without having to buy an expensive lens that has one built in.

i'm just starting out in the photography world and i'm planning on expanding a bit in the future. If i go with the s3is, i would probably get the available lenses/adapter for it. If i go with the rebel xt, i'll probably get the 75-300mm tele lens. Would the s3is keep me occupied long enough with all the accessories available to it? Or is getting the rebel xt and the tele lens going to be a better bet? the only thing that is pushing me towards the s3is side is the image stabilizer and the 12x optical zoom that it has.

Why not wait until the Sony Alpha dSLR comes out next month? It will have Minolta's body-integral anti-shake.

Okay..so I need a camera for my sis's wedding in July.
Focusing on either the Canon SD600 or the Panasonic FX01.

Which would you guys recommend? Reviews on the FX01 says in low light conditions not that great...shitty as I take quite a lot of pics in nightclubs. However it has builti in antishake which is good because my old SD300 has lot blurry pics.

Most P&S cameras do not do too well in low light.
