Cheaper lenses in US?

Hi all

I am in Florida early next year on holiday, I just wondered if lenses for my EOS 400d would be cheaper to purchase there than here in the UK?

If anyone can offer any advice I would appreciate it.

Yup!
I am just back from Florida, my OH got a Canon 70-200 f/4 L lens for £400 and I got a Canon MR14-EX ring flash for £295. Obviously if the exchange rate improves it'll be even cheaper.

However, we set up an account with Amazon.com and had them sent to the hotel and bought them that way.
And the OH has just informed be try the Adorama site, and B and H site.
We did venture into a few camera shops over there but they were all much the same and seemed more 'market' like than actual shops, nothing had prices on so can't say what the prices were like in them but the range wasn't great anyway and none of them had what we were after.

Many thanks for the info, I will look in to that.
Yes lets hope the Pound gets stronger agains the Dollar eh?
