I think they are - I know when I researched the Canon there was duty because it was a Japanese camera and I'm pretty sure Nikon is as well.

McBain's is cheaper right now, and they're local... I don't want to shill for them, but even if you save a hundred bucks, these are delicate and expensive. I like having a local dealer.

lol, ok I know that Nikon is made in Japan. What I meant to type was that when it lands in the US first, and then comes to Canada it shouldn't have any duty. I will check the duty lists though.

For about $1300 all in, the e-bay package comes with a crapload of extras:
D70s camera
4 gig card
USB card reader
2 Nikon lenses
1 wide angle lense
3 different filters
Tripod
Aluminum carrying case
Soft carrying case

For $1900 at McBain I get everything the same, but no wide angle lense, no filter, tripod, or carrying cases.
I definately like buying Canadian, but not for $600 more for less equipment.

McBain does have the best Canadian pricing I have seen though, good link. I will probably buy their 35mm slide adaptor!

Ruth which Canon did you get? I assume you are using Canon lenses then?

I'll write to McBain and see how close they can come prise-wise to the e-bay store, if they can come closer then i'll consider them.
