charge way too much compared with the rest of the world. When I bought my Canon 550EX from the states, it was nearly $1,000A here and I got it for around $650A imported. Same with cameras, but I have bought mine here. Lenses are traditionally a 1/3 extra compared with the price of the US and HK pricing. I understand that businesses need to make a profit, but the prices we pay here in Australia don't justify the cost.

Thanks for the info about Blacktown Camera House, I checked at Parramatta, usless. I know about Kayell, but they are a little pricey as well. Haven't heard of the the others. A couple of places I have used here, are Dirtcheapcameras.com and also Vanbar.com.au as well. They have atleast reasonable pricing which I am prepared to buy from.

Any idea on the cost of the level at Blacktown Camera House, are they located in main street or in the Mall there Skyman.

I don't like purchasing over the net (just a quirk of mine).
