In a month I am heading overseas to practice my language skills before the next semester starts (last year's return from summer break without practicing still makes me grimace) and the first planned stop (after I figure out the rail system over there) is Akihabara to buy a digital camera. I am hoping that some kind individuals could provide some insights and warnings on the planned trip. I'm looking to purchase a Canon S2 IS and wondering if it can be purchased locally there for less than $450, Costco's price tag. Also of minor concern (and I plan to visit the local consulate to discuss them) center around any suggested innoculations and bureaucratic paperwork that needs to be addressed. Also, I am curious if Japan's power system is 110v or 220v as I plan to take my Thinkpad along for the ride and possible incompatibilities with my intended purchase for when I bring it home.
Any enlightened souls with insight(s), please comment.
