714264 2008-10-24 04:26:00 Greetings Folks,

A relative is off to Japan on Sunday, Just occurred to me I should get em to grab me a flash harry camera.

Granted I know nothing about camera or japan I figure they may be cheap over there,

So, If I were after a digital SLR what would I be looking for?, Cost in Japan?

Whats the next level down from SLR, recommended brand model?

You would be happy with this.....

714266 2008-10-24 04:52:00 yep, I'd quite agreee with SLR being overkill, I don't even know what SLR is.

My requirements are that it can take stunning photos of radio control cars travelling at 40mph, and preferably have its own rechargeable battery. Hate stuffing the damn things with expensive AA batteries

Technology is cheap in Japan. My hard drive cost only $67. :D

Hard drives may be cheap but hard ons are not in Tokyo.

Best of luck Met with battery prob.

Sony Hong kong sells for around $1000NZ thats about $4590HK

Sony japan sells them for 69800 Yen or $1319NZ thats the black color.The silver color sells for 79800 yen or $1509NZ

Sony Hong Kong sells the black model only

The package includes the camera + lens + 4GB Compact flash = $1000NZ

or

The camera + lens(18-70mm) + lens (55-200mm) + 4GB card = $1236NZ or $5650HK

You might as well buy it from Hk than in japan
