Canadian Deals onf Fuji F30

[Geni4us]

What is a good deal on the FujiFilm Finepix F30 in canada.
Best i can find is 379.99(CDN) with free shipping. Or 368$ but i wont be near that store till mide december. Anyone know of where i can find a better deal/ or approximately how much more its going to cost me if i buy from the us, i just moved to Kingston, Ontario.

On a similar note is there a 50-100$ rebate for buying the F30 in canada. as there is one for ones purchased within the US.

Thanks

Pricing I've seen agrees with what you've seen - unfortunately, not as much dealer competition up here and the dollar, customs and shipping (to dealer) bumps the price up.

Haven't seen any rebates up here, but wouldn't be surprised if something comes up between now and the New Year.

One thing though, if you get the camera from the US, Fuji likely won't honor the warranty if bought outside of Canada and it will be a pain in the posterior if one has to go to the US to get warranty work done, not to mention taking much longer.

The other thing to consider is if you need local support - buy locally as your local dealer will be not as inclined to support your US purchase than if you bought from him.

I'm also looking at the F30 as a possible buy once I get finished with checking out other cameras and if the F30 still holds up against them.

Update: I got the Fuji F30.
