Japanese often go to Hong Kong or Singapore to purchase Japanese cameras
because they are cheaper there.  I have compared Singapore prices with NY
mail-order camera prices and they are very similar.  Before you leave for Japan
check the mail order ads in a camera magazine so you know what a good price is,
and don't be surprised if you can't match the price in Japan.  Also, check into
how you get the camera serviced under warranty - do you have to return it to
Japan?
