Camera Shopping

you should check bic camera with shops all over tokyo, as well as laox.. youll find them both in akihabara, but major transportation hubs often have one or both of these electronics chains. also, if you want to dive into online electronics comparisions (and have a friend who reads japanese) you can check http://kakaku.com/. here you will find daily price comparisons for specific brands and models of electronics.

And Yodobashi Camera. If you are staying in or near Shinjuku there is a huge branch of Yodobashi Camera there.

Thanks your advice very much appreciated

I would strongly encourage you to research the price and what comes in the package before getting to Japan.

If you are coming from the US I would suggest buying this camera from an internet vendor rather than in Japan. Personally when I have looked in Japan the prices have NOT been cheaper than from the internet in the US.
