best price is still in asia imo, if you have someone going there say.... during the holidays?

esp. for a starter camera, they throw in all this extra stuff. although they're crappy, they'll satisfy you for a while. i.e. cheap 16gb sdhc, (flimsy) tripod, bag (that holds camera + kit lens), extra (no-name) battery, Kenko pro-1-d UV filter for kit lens, screen protector. All at a price already cheaper than any prices found here.
i.e. when everyone was selling t1i for a grand here, they were offering all that in HK for $6000HK @ Broadway. This stuff might not appeal to you if you're into 5d's or even 7d's, but if you know nothing about cameras and want to spend ~$1000CAD total on starter gear it's such a bargain. Then again, there are so many ballers here that buy a 5d as a starter camera haha.

Warranty is the biggest issue if anything. Not sure if the Mack warranties are any good. No one gave me a straight answer.
