Import tax to Australia is 10% and then you add on Customs Duty. What a complete rort! I've been stung a number of times with this, which is why you have to be discerning when importing to Australia.

A$
Customs value EXAMPLE ($1200) (Cval) 1200.00
Customs duty (Duty) @ 5% of Cval 60.00 (Payable)
International transport and insurance or postage (T&I) 150.00
Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) (Cval+Duty+T&I) 1410.00
Goods and Services Tax (GST) @ 10% of the VoTI 141.00 (Payable)
Total payable Duty + GST 201.00

Re: F3 4:4:4 recording solution? Forget the gemini!

There is a similar tax situation when importing into most countries.

Across Europe for example a product imported from outside Europe will be subject to VAT. In the UK VAT is 17.5% (As corrected by Mike below it's 20%). Then there is also import duty which will depend on the type of product, but between 8% and 15% is common.

The exporter of a product when selling to another country does not generally have to add any taxes to the product. But when selling in ones own country there will be sales taxes and/or VAT to be added, which is often why overseas goods often appear on the face of it to be cheaper.

Doh! I do know that but my brain refuses to accept 20% VAT, especially on a weekend when I'm jet lagged :-)

Cees, you're welcome to use my F3/Zeiss CP2 for a test

I have 50GB of test footage available if you want to seriously compare the differences between various codecs. PMW-F3 S-LOG & External Recorders Test Drive

Re: F3 4:4:4 recording solution? Forget the gemini!

We shot a Duran Duran concert with 12x PMW-F3's with NanoFlashes recording at 80Mb/s on Friday. We chose NanoFlashes as they are highly reliable and the amount of media generated by 12 cameras shooting for over 2 hours each is very manageable. Lot's to consider when choosing a recorder, not just image quality. As there are no plans for a heavy grade (I created a PP specifically for the shoot by experimenting at a previous DD gig) it was felt that 8 bit would be plenty. Shooting with ProRes HQ would have generated around 3.5TB of data compared to the 900GB that was shot with the Nano's. Not a job for a Gemini... that would have been 26TB from the 12 cameras! Don't forget that we are also creating a backup of everything so all the numbers given can be doubled when you include that, plus a further 300GB from the mini-cams and crowd cameras.
