Absolutely.
I only quote d-d photographics as it's convenient to check prices online.
If I were in the market for a new camera I'd certainly shop around, I even haggle prices at places like Harvey Normans and Domayn because they are willing to match or come close to these grey import prices.
If they come close I wouldn't hesitate to buy from the main stores knowing they have good backup service.
It always pays to haggle.
Cheers.
