OK, now I get it.  There's this one, the PRO, and then the ILS which has interchangeable lenses.

I'm waiting to see what that one is like.  I love me some lenses!

I'd imagine it'll be somewhere between exorbitant, ridiculous, and "this is just an action camera - WTF".

The $700 price tag in the US is already there!

yer where you are... 

by the time it gets to here and converted to aussie $ then  add a gst on top and whatever other hidden taxes there are and its not going to be $700 

supposably there's a free trade agreement between you people and us... the reality is i suspect theres nothing free about trade.

The "Australia Tax" is definitely real.

It's getting less now thanks to how easy it is to buy direct online from overseas, but if you buy locally you pay a significant premium to the local importer who has exclusive rights to set pricing and sell those goods.  I've known people who needed to buy something significant for their work, so rather than buying it locally, they took the family on a weeks holiday to Singapore (or the US) and bought the thing there and brought it back in their luggage...  and even including all the costs of the family holiday etc it was still cheaper!

I also remember someone from tech company needing to download a huge database from overseas and with internet speeds at the time they ended up flying there, burning it to a bunch of discs, then flying home again, and if you divided the total amount of data over the entire duration of the trip it was still dozens of times faster, and might even have been cost competitive on the data rates too.
