Originally posted by feronovak But with all the customs and VAT it should be simillar price to Europe. Advantage of BHphoto or Adorama was to not declare camera with customs as he would already use it and it would not be in original packing.
Yes indeed, all the packages from bhphoto have a customs slip that states all the stuff in the package and their value. In the UK stuff tends to be about 2x more expensive than in the USA. I doubt VAT and customs duties will increase the price to match the UK price.
VAT is the one that hurts most, and the highest I know is 25%. Plus there's the possibility of the camera just making it past the customs without any duties.
