Description
All dollar amounts are in U.S. Dollars and any conversions were performed at the time of writing (usually around 133 yen to the dollar).
By the way, all hardware and software, by being mentioned on this site, gets a thumbs up from me. Dell customer support has impressed me to no end, and I'm in love with my Sony Cybershot. Please take mention in the site as a straight-up endorsement by yours truly. [UPDATE: My Cybershot broke 5 months into my stay in Japan for no apparent reason. Students alerted me to the idea of the "Sony Timer" that is included free of charge with every Sony product. This helpful timer causes all Sony products to break just after the warranty expires. I laughed so hard when I heard that. Go with Panasonic, or Nikon, or Canon. Avoid Sony.]
