I'm looking for some Canadian retailers that will be selling the Canon XH A1 camcorder. I live in British Columbia but prefer to order over the internet from another province to save the 7% tax. I know only of Vistek at this point. Any others recommended for comparison shopping? Thanks

So far I too have only found vistek. If you really wanna save yourself tax order straight from the states from b&h or another one of the places recommended on these boards. Personally I've probably just drive down to b&h in ny, make a weekend out of it, and stay at cousin's while I'm down there and just drive back with the camera. That'll save me like 500 bucks+tax compaired to getting it in canada.

Lorne Lapham Sales and Rentals is a great little place.
www.LLSR.com
Although you do pay the 7% GST they are awesome for helping you out with all of your needs, they have a number of very knowledgable employees.
This is the place where i will be picking up my XH A1.
well 3 of them actually lol.
Hope that helps

I haven't asked yet, it will most likely be similar to Vistek's price...
don't expect to get any huge deals from LLSR, the reason i would go with them over other places is that they have great service and go above and beyond for customer service.
My buddy bought a Manfrotto 701 tripod head about a year ago and was looking to upgrade to the 501. They told him he could just return the 701 and pay the difference for the 501 saved him tons of cash.
