I made a few phone calls and checked on some things for you...

Canon makes a GREAT Camera! And Customer Support is EXCELLENT!

The A60 (a 2 megaPixel camera) has more than enough resolution for
exchanging and posting Pix on the Internet.
And Canon-USA and Canon-Canada both still sell the A60 model.)
IF you really want to take HIGH resolution pictures to
have large (8'x10") enlargements PRINTED - the A70 is "better"...
But more expensive and you'll probably want a Larger Media Card than
comes with the camera (another $50-$100).

Now the Bad News is - you live on the "wrong side" of
the US - Canada border!

MOST Internet Sellers of Canon Cameras - like http://www.Amazon.com
and http://www.BuyDig.com either do NOT sell into Canada or
charge OUTLANDISH prices to ship into Canada!

The guy I talked to at BuyDig.com estimated it would cost an
EXTRA $85 to ship the $159 Canon A60 into Canada.

Amazon.com will NOT ship a camera across the US-Canada border.
And http://www.Amazon.com.CA
(the Canadian version of the US Amazon.com) -
does not sell cameras.

Then there's the WARRANTY Issue...
I got TWO different versions of how Canon might handle that!
Best thing for YOU to do is
CALL Canon-CANADA at 1-800-652-2666
and ASK THEM if Canon-CANADA will honor the warranty IF the
camera is purchased in the USA.
Canon-USA will NOT ship a repaired camera back to an address IN Canada!

You need to find out IF you purchase a camera from someone in the US -
WILL Canon-CANADA repair it under Warranty.

Be REAL Careful buying something "expensive" at eBay.com -
you have NO Guarantee that the Canon Warranty will be honored IF
something goes wrong!

One other thing -
Does your COMPUTER have a USB Port on it???
Most of the Newer Digital Cameras require a USB Port to
directly connect the Camera to the Computer.
There ARE other ways - but the USB Port on the computer makes
it MUCH easier to do!

Ask some Friends - or possibly a Camera-Buff SCHOOL Teacher -
for suggestions.
Be CERTAIN whatever you buy can be repaired IN CANADA -
shipping electronic items across the US-Canada border can be
very difficult and expensive!
