:bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie: that's a mega loss when u buy gear in JP~~ just bring cash n buy in JP, no interest fm CC.
That's what i'll do...pay by cash cos no credit card.

ATM in jp accept jp cards only, hard to find atm in jp.. only airports have atms that accept international cards, and money changers are hard to find..
But cash is changed here in SG before going to JP mah, so no need for JP ATMs.

i have reservations for some countries due to pick pockets..
< S$13 is very difficult imho...
If it hits, i'l change too..
from S$16 way back in 2001/2002 down to the current S$13.5
is kinda low already...
Go every year January and rates are about $13.5 - $13.2
Camera and lenses arent as cheap in Tokyo then in H.K.
as in its easier to get better prices in H.K.
There's good deals to be found in Tokyo too, but not easy
to ID the place. Plus its a big country so finding the location
isnt exactly easy too..
In Tokyo, Shinjuku area you have like Yodobashi, Map Camera
and some used camera shop.
Prices are ok, bargain abit is also ok..
Test lens to get sharp copy then buy?
Not possible to my humble knowledge
But definitely eye candy...
bring eye mo....

Hi newbie here. Great community!
Akihabara is one place to start looking. Lots of gadget/electronics/camera shops. Good deals can be found to. Yodobashi has a huge store there AFAIK. LAOX also has its own camera branch. Last time I was in Japan was 2002 - got myself a vidcam from LAOX and saved a nifty sum if I compared it to the price here in my country.
Cheers.
