<p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1226532614.usr1.jpg" /></p><p>This is a watershed moment: in the span of several months, both <a href="http://www.newegg.ca" target="_blank">NewEgg</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.ca" target="_blank">Amazon</a> have started selling electronics in Canada. I don't think people outside Canada understand how limited our options were for online ordering, especially as it related to having a big selection. Quit often the <a href="http://www.bestbuy.ca" target="_blank">Best Buy</a> and <a href="http://www.futureshop.ca" target="_blank">Future Shop</a> Web sites carried the same number of products as the local stores, so there wasn't a lot to be gained from ordering online. Unfortunately, bredth of product selection is something that both NewEgg and Amazon.ca are lacking, though NewEgg is far in advance of Amazon.ca. For instance, Amazon.ca's digital camera selection consists of 20 camera models total, and not a Nikon in sight. NewEgg has 171 in comparison. I'm sure Amazon's collection will grow - I'm just glad that I have more options when it comes to buying electronics!</p>
