Camera Gear in EC Countries - Cheapest?

[martcol]

Am I likely to get the 100-400 L any cheaper in another EC Country and ship to the UK? Anyone else done this?

Have a look at this German shop: http://www.ny-camera.net - it's a German shop, despite the name "New York Camera"! The Canon EF 100-400L costs € 1.427 including VAT there. I don't know if that's cheaper than in the UK.

With the US$ still being so cheap, it might actually be cheaper to buy stuff in the US and have it shipped to you in the UK. The 100-400L costs $ 1.299,95 at B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com), which is about € 1.075 with today's exchange rate.
