Buying camera gear from the US can definitely be cheaper - the one thing to research is the warranty situation. For example, Nikon Canada will not service a Nikon body or lens if it was bought from the US. This is probably not a huge deal, just sayin...
The other thing to remember is that shipping can really add up quickly, if you're not careful - UPS, I believe, charges an arm and a leg for brokerage fees while USPS or Fedex Air is much cheaper...
