Hi guys

This post is now irrelevant as I have bit the bullet and made the purchase. Now just have to wait for it to arrive.

Thanks Ben

Ben of Newcastle, there are a number of members here who work for Australian Customs. This is also a public board and I have spoken to Customs officers who have accessed while we are speaking on the phone! This board would never suggest or condone something which suggest "sneaking" or not paying what is asked by the government, no matter how foolishly you think they are spending our money.

Hi Ben,

If you want to source a D300 at a good price in Australia, D-D Photographics in Sydney are pretty good. They have the D300 at $2189, inc GST and you get a tax invoice. You can either pick it up or get it delivered to your for $28. It is imported stock, just like the HK gear. Look in the Traders Opinion section for good reviews on their service.

For Australian stock, ie backed by local Nikon warranty, ECS have them for $2585, that's about as good as it gets.

So, plenty of options for you.

Good to see you on the forums again :D

Cheers,

André

Thanks for the rplys guys. I have edited my initial post as it was probably poorly worded. I have put an order in for the camera so will now sit tight and wait its arrival.
