"Will I be required to pay duty"
Yes, most likely.
The amount payable (duty/tax/brokerage fee) depends on the price you paid, the country where the camera was manufactured and the method of transportation
The camera sold for US$1,029 + US$90 shipping = US$ 1,119
For duty, you will need to check with Canada Customs on the rate for camera presumably made in Japan.
The HST/GST/PST depends on your province
The listing does not indicate if the seller is using USPS or UPS or Fed-Ex, or the actual service. the brokerage fee could vary from free to about $80, depending on carrier/service.
