Buying a camera in the US

[oceania]

I want to buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. It's much cheaper to buy online but they only ship to a US address. I'm actually going to San Francisco in a couple of weeks and wondering if I'd be able to find a similar prices in-store. Or yes I could just ship it to the address I'll be in California but my preference is to buy in-store if possible.

Buy it shipped, you'll save on the taxes (9.5% in SF)

Amazon.com has it for $299!

Yeah that's where I was looking too, thanks. I'll ship to a family member and pick it up there.

I just can't believe how badly we get ripped off here. It's going for $425 + taxes whereas I can get it for $320CAD...insane
