So what if you get hit with the GST when the post office asks you to collect it.

No import duties on posted items sent by post.
The fact that an item is sent by post does not affect whether import duty (or GST) is paid. In this case, you are correct in stating that no import duty applies to cameras. GST on an item valued at over $1000 always applies.
