She’s not far off guessing larger and heavier as more expensive. Physics comes into play. Longer lenses are larger and heavier which is expensive. Large aperture is larger and heavier than their slower counterparts, and also pricey.

[@chrissnyder4439]

I know it's all relative, but the exchange rate between USD and AUD is painful.

Aussies also cop what's called the "Australia Tax" by Manufacturers, where the price charged isn't the same after exchange rates and sales taxes, but about another 30% on top. Apple, Canon, Samsung and Nikon are all pretty savage on it.

As awkward and hilarious as this was, I think I’ll take away something really important from this video as well….

Overall an amazing video - educational and cringey! 😂👍

[@phantoms29]

Yes, I was going to say that to the uninitiated the prices sound ridiculous; it’s almost impossible to guess prices accurately without a frame of reference. And when a client thinks you’re overcharging them when you quote them for a job this is often why.

[@robertwaffel8248]

And you can save so much by shooting with a 15 year old pro-DSLR (D700, D5 MK2,...). Your clients wouldn't know the difference.

[@-kentonwilson]

Enjoyed the video. Pretty bold to discuss equipment costs all in one setting. But to demonstrate real bravery you should do another video where she adds together all your camera gear on a calculator so she sees the grand total. Then have her compare that number to all your furniture, or jewelry, or her clothing, or her car. I’d like to see that video… yes, please! :)

She was smart to sort the lenses by weight! That's a good general rule of thumb whwn it comes to like-fof-like electronics. You said 'it's not about weight but the specs' - it kinda is about weight. More materials, higher quality materials, bigger glass = more expensive.

This is fun to watch. And not that surprising, really. I've been in cameras for a long time now, and I still can't believe how much it all costs sometimes. The average person has no idea. Like, when something so small as a camera body can be worth as much as someone's car... it doesn't compute.

[@TheRonHockman]

A very quick search shows that the average yearly income in Australia is a little over 92k. In the US its a bit under 60k. So the salary in AUS is 1.53x from a strictly numerical perspective. The exchange rate is 1.52 AUD to 1.00 USD. B&H is showing the 85/1.2 at 2796 USD, which is 4249.92 AUD. Even after a 10% tax, it seems like the AUS prices are a bit higher than their US equivalent.
