If you buy it there it will have Japanese menus only. Therefore, if you can read Japanese you could use Google to find an outlet in Nagoya.
 

I was quoted RMB7,999 for RX100 in Shanghai. Freebies included are 8GB SDCard and Case (not sure which).
Price w/o freebie RMB7,700.

Just to share/check with everyone here if this is a good price. Hope to hear your comments. TIA.

Sony's China website has quoted only RMB4099 for this model, you shld just go to the Sony store to check out the prices.

Yes it does, the "Overseas Model" usually sells for RRP.
 

Haha. Sorry. Old man liao. Was thinking 700+, so I made a typo.

Should have been RMB 3,999 and RMB3,700 respectively.

Equivalent of SGD740 is quite a drop compared to $999 list in Singapore.

I don't see much sharing about prices. So I shared, no need to be a critic right? ;)

Step 1: Convert to SGD. Use a website like xe.com (hint: It's about 5:1)
Step 2: Compare the result to the prices posted all over this thread.
Step 3: Make a decision.

It's really not difficult to be an adult and make a choice on your own...

My folks just came and they bought a English set from Bic Camera. They were attended by a Taiwanese staff and were initially they quoted 65,000¥ but told to come back after 5pm for a special price which they did. They went back and it was 59,000¥ which is about 780SGD which i thought was quite decent; went ahead and got the set. Thanks all for the advices, looking forward to have fun with it!!

Did a check recently, take it with a pinch of salt:

click! = $880
cathay = $930
msc = $899

prices may change, pls call them for the latest prices.
 

My folks came back from Nagoya having purchased the RX100 from Bic cameras. They were attended to by a Taiwanese lady and initally quoted 65,000¥ but were told to head back after 5pm for a special price. Went back and the price dropped to 59,100¥ ~ 780SGD which I thought was decent though no extra goodies were thrown in.

Mate, that's expensive. I got quoted ¥49,900 in Japan last month.

Could you share where you got quoted and is it the model with english menus? Heading to japan in april, would love to get my hands on a RX100 for use on my trip. Thanks!
 

Any recommendation for a good 3rd party battery charger?
Mine was from ebay and the charging time is about 3 hours. Duration is too long if I have to several batteries overnight.
