You will be better off getting in Canada. Everyone thinks Japan is wonderful for buying high end electronics, but the truth is they don't have the kind of sales they do in the US. You're best deal would be to buy it off Amazon at home.

I'll give an example, there is a waterproof and shockproof Olympus that I want. Off the net back home I'd save at least fifty dollars while here I'll have to pay full price. The only time it is worth buying techie stuff in Japan is if it has not been released elsewhere because we do get a lot of things before North America and Europe.
