I just bought the 8300 from Vistek, Calgary. There was an $800 rebate that supposedly expires Sept. 30th. I live in BC so saved HST by buying in Calgary.
I was also negotiating with B&H in New York, but shipping costs were too high plus I would have had to pay HSt at border. Some US suppliers including B&H have instant rebates from Canon that do not distinguish between US & Canadians. Canon Canada let me know that if I bought the printer in the US, I would have to wait up to 2 weeks for warranty service if something went wrong.
