CF cards are inherently more costly to produce and less demand as compared to SD cards. One of the reasons CF cards are more costly to produce is because they have the controller chip in card; SD cards do not have that built in.

Though whether or not it should be 5 times more, I certainly agree that shouldn't be the case. Just markup there.

Can anyone here clarify my tax liabilities for me?

I just bought a 5D3 shipped to seattle. If I stay for >48hrs, will I be eligible for $800 tax exemption on the camera even though the purchased date is not during my time of travel?

Doesn't matter. It's when you brought it over the border.

Remember that cameras and camera equipment (except lighting I think) are duty free BUT you will probably still have to pay HST.

Hope you got a smokin' deal.

Can't find any reviews though. None for Kamerar products.

EDIT: shipping is free to the US and Canada. They ship DHL/Fedex/USPS so no stupid UPS brokerage fee.
...well, fuck me. I was hoping to not spend any more money after buying my 35 f1.4 but dammit, just bought it.

I think that technically speaking, you won't get $800 exemption on the camera. If you go over the limit, you will have to pay tax on everything.

Not sure how much you'll actually get taxed though.

If you meet the $800 exemption, you pay taxes on the remaining value of the goods if youve gone over.

Most electronics are duty free. Taxes only.

That's such an awesome deal. Wish I waited a few weeks. But I'm happy with mine.

I get the feeling this thing is designed for smaller, lighter cameras. Works well as a dolly, not so much as a slider.

Heads up: 2x Lexar Professional 800x 16GB for $90 at Amazon, B&H and Adorama. 2x 32GB is $156.

EDIT: Hmmm, apparently they're not very good...slower than the 600x cards.

Was thinking of buying some Transcend 32GB 400x cards. They're only $40.

Transcend cards are very very good for the price. Warranty is amazing compared with Lexar + Sandisk. I use the 16GB and 32GB 400x and they work awesome.

I thought about it but then I can't imagine the Lexar reader being THAT much faster than my cheap Kingston USB 3.0 reader.
