I just checked the tarriff schedule, from what I can see digital cameras are duty free.

I phoned them and that is what I was told by the agent I spoke to.

That appears to be the case. I was bored (and interested) and went to a US site that has a shopping calculator (ecost.com) in a partnership with Canada Post's Borderfree.com service. No duty on a d50.

Ugg, don't get a camera with a 4gb microdrive. It's a small hard drive with tiny moving parts. They have horrible reliability. I've seen so many dead ones. You can get flash cards upto 4gb now, but the 1 and 2gb models are the best priced.

I will have to read up on the microdrives, I definately want somethine reliable, maybe a 4gig microdrive and a 1gig backup would be best.
