I have brought back all kinds of major electronics, games systems, etc. all declared and never had a problem. I have never had more than about 1000 dollars worth of stuff...maybe that is the difference.
We use the same memory cards and such as the US, so it might be fun to have a camera that can time-stamp in Japanese or isn't available in the US.
