  1. I just felt there were less "big places" (I'm sure I remember there being quite a few large electronic shops in that area a bit further away from the station - not really much there now it seemed) and more "cheap / duty free" places, as well as a lot of manga-like images everywhere... not sure what all that lot was!

  2. I was in Akihabara the other day for the first time in a while. It seems to have changed a lot since I last went. There actually seems to be less choice of big shops - and much more anime / Gundam / whatever all that otaku stuff is going on.

     

    I also thought the prices weren't that good and the online prices I had noted down easily beat most places on the big things I was looking at.

     

    The best place seemed to be the newish and incredible large Yodabashi Camera. They must have had over 1000 camera bags alone. Prices there still weren't that good, but armed with a kikaku price list I'm sure they can move a bit.

     

    Was I missing some places, keen to hear other impressions of Akihabara.

  3. Soubs, my English manual came today. I had seen it online but I'm really glad that I got it in book form now. For me it is so much better having a small book than viewing manuals online and it does tell you much more than just "what the buttons do" in it's 200 pages. It may not be a complete megaguide, and some of the people here obviously don't think so, but I think it is worth having. Ask the place where you got the camera they might be able to get it to you for free. I just paid 700 yen.
