Pricing in Japan...

How much does a decent digital camera or digital viedo camera cost in Japan?

How about mobile phones?

Thank you.

I'm wondering about the exact same thing. Is there any web sites that might have this info?

I have yet to locate a site, in Japanese or English, that prices mobile phones; I'm just spoiled, I think, of the luxury of comparative shopping back in the States.

I'd really like to pick up a F900i (or if NTT DoCoMo announces a release date soon, the F900iT), but it, esp. the iT model, is going to cost both arms and legs, I think.

I don't think you'll get many great deals, but go check out Akihabara in Tokyo and Den Den town in Osaka. Those are good places to find random strange bargins.

I recently bought a Powershot A300 for about 17,500 yen.
