What's the best time to buy a camera in Japan?

canon digital camera japan image

Envr.

I want to buy a professional digital camera in Japan (Nikon or Canon) probably from Akihabara, and I wonder is there a seasonal sales on such consumer electronics so that I get the best deal?

Answer
You are almost certainly better buying it from amazon.co.jp - it will almost certainly be cheaper. I got my Canon Kiss X4i there, and it was a lot cheaper than in the stores. If you want a professional digital camera, then the 60D or the 7D by Canon are excellent (Kiss models are semi-pro only). On the Nikon side, the D7000 and D5100 are worth looking at. Canon fans (like me) will tell you Canon is great - and they are! Nikon fans will tell you Nikon are great - and they also are! There is little difference in picture quality, or the availability of high quality lenses and accessories. Go to the shop, get both in your hands, see which feels better to you, then buy it cheaper from amazon.

Any difference between the Canon in Japanese and international market?

Ja. C

I plan to buy a Canon digital camera (IXUS 800 IS) 6 MP but I noticed there is a version on ebay (Ixy 900i) which is the Japanese market version. Is the Ixy made in Japan and the Ixus made in China? Is there any difference in quality in that case? What do you recommend? thankx

Answer
No difference just warrenties. The IXY comes with ONLY the international warrienty while the SD cameras come with the America warriteny.
