You will need to use the zoom ring to zoom in or out. Unless I am mistaken, I have yet to see a dSLR with lens zoom +/- like those you see on point and shoot cameras. You can try some of my favourites price checking outlets, Funan is a relatively good place with a good spread of shops. I...

Wanted to get a D7000 but now overseas and the prices are crazy ... So saw the D3100 ... understand D7000 vs D3100 cannot compare ... but wait till u hear the price D3100 + KIT 18-55mm + Tripod + 8GB class 6 + Nikon Bag + Kenko UV 52mm + Spare battery + cleaning kit + LCD protector + 3 years...

Pentax is rather popular in Japan ... you have to do some leg work and walk around Akihabara ... I was at Yodabashi in Osaka and saw a wide array of Pentax stuff including the K-5 ... I was just there middle of last month and got back last week. Most of the time it is much cheaper to get...

price guide is good yard stick ... but most impt is do your fair share of leg work ... not only for pentax ... but other brands also :D ... phone call is good way to start! Trick is dont be shy to bargain and use facts, e.g. that ABC shop selling XXX cheaper ... dont believe u call lor!! ...

Hi All, I am really interested in the D7000 Was actually thinking to get one from Akihabara in Japan (appx SGD1550) when I was there, but for another SGD150 more I rather have peace of mind, especially since anything above SGD888 for me is worth getting a local warranty :D Now I am...

The best things in life are always worth waiting for :P Just like waiting for LX 5 to come out before LX 3 ... hahahah Cheers and congratz on ur new camera .!!

Assumption is deadly. Panasonic have introduced Japanese only models for their domestic market ... usually the prices are VERY good. The international models have heftier prices and are not much cheaper than SG or in fact more expensive. Akihabara is a good place to bargain for models...

Anywayz with reference to toejam on page 33 about getting his/her LX5 white, more than 2 weeks ago. For people who are wondering, this is not a local set, which you can purchase online from trusted overseas vendors in Amazon or B&H or your preferred online shop. I think Amazon selling used...

Just for comparison I am using benchmark pricing from Japan's Kakaku.com and Amazon.com where possible. (I copied this from my post in Japantoday.com) I have visited Japan a sometime back and visited those small outlets, no doubt they may not have the variety in the big chain stores, but their...

One thing to note .... kakaku.com prices are more true for newer models ... Japan or kakaku in this case have a weird habit of selling older models at the RRP from released date ... no idea why .... Cheers

Hi All, Saw a thread about getting Cameras and stuff in Hong Kong. Did a search and could not find a recent thread nor post on getting one from/in Tokyo or from USA. Disclaimer:- 1. Advice given is in my personal opinion. I may not be accurate 100%. 2. I do not guarantee that...

Hi all, My fren just got back from Japan, Got his LX-5 with 8GB SDHC and case for only Yen35,750 (SG$573.50), some more has international warranty (not sure can work in SG or not). He wanted to get a GF1 white only Yen41,000 (SG$650ish) with freebies, but deem it too troublesome (buy lenses...
