I wish we got the whole thing back - PST is not eligible for refund, except in those places where the whole thing is charged as a harmonized sales tax.
In Ontario, the amount eligible is only the GST. Still isn't a bad deal - unless you're not spending the required C$200.

Actually on your average purchase you are correct, however on a major item such as the computer or camera described you could avoid paying the PST in the first place by proving you were going to export the item. Not the sort of thing to pursue with the checkout clerk at Best Buy, but something that could be arranged with advance planning.
