The Canadian users here will know best that with the Canadian dollar now worth more than the US dollar, there are deals to be had across the border, but more frustratingly, the prices in Canada are still way out of whack.
I want to get the FL-36 flash for my Olympus E-500, and see it is $269.99 CDN at Henry's. The same flash is available from B&H in the US for $179.00 US. That's a big difference! Of course, if I buy it at Henry's I will also have to pay taxes, from B&H I won't. The shipping cost from B&H is only $27.00.
I've emailed Henry's to ask if they will match the price, but i am not hopeful. Has anyone else had any luck getting Canadian camera stores to match US prices, or are you just buying from US retailers instead?
If the price difference wasn't so great, I'd just buy it from a CDN retailer to keep the money here, but this is a big difference (and a lot of money).
