I got my camera and lens kit at Robinson's Online Store on eBay... they're actually in Calgary. URGalaxy or Hong Kong Direct on eBay both gave tremendous service. Use Adorama to price compare, and look for private deals from sellers with positive feedback. Look for auctions that end at weird times, and not during peak periods like weekday evenings and weekend afternoons. eBayers can be wierd, and start bidding wars, so be patient, it took me over 2 months to round out my system. Identify what you are going to buy, buy one item at a time and bid once only specifying your maximum bid. Set your price and eventually you will win as long as your price is realistic. Americans are particularly hard to deal with, every private deal except one I did with an American cost me extra on this side as they are hesitant to send anything across the border and declare as a gift or sample, not that they are obligated to do this, but all the Hong Kong sellers are masters at minimizing customs costs. Whatever you do... use Paypal to pay and complete the transaction on eBay... you have buyer protection that way...
