yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Check it out http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/5878.html I'm tempted to get one of these in the next year or so, wait rather than buy a tape one now. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I really like the idea too, I might be tempted into the market. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The idea is great, but a microdrive isn't a good memory storage device. Many photographers used these microdrives but they have a tendency to break. So if you have this thing and you crash while skiing/boarding it might be the end of your $1800 camcorder.

TimRide30x 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'm thinking about buying an additional 4GB Hitachi Microdrive for my Everio. Here in Aust, they currently cost around AU$240 (21,000 yen) Maybe bit cheaper here on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7590455637 Anyone seen the prices for these in Tokyo at the moment? Maybe BIC Camera prices would be a good guide? thanks Link to post Share on other sites

TimRide30x 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 thanks Indosnm looks like they are selling them for slightly less than retail here http://kakaku.com/prdsearch/detail.asp?PrdKey=00512010031 Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 kakaku is the cheapest in japan by far. Occasionally you will find a one of deal that might be cheaper... but that's a rare case. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 For DSC Digital still cameras, check out 'Kitamura camera', they have sizzling specials that often trump everything on kakaku. They are chain store in Kansai, they might be nationwide. Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yes they do some really good deals. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 My kitamura in Toyama gives me better prices than kakaku. I just show the guy the printout of the lowest price and he goes lower. It's great! Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Wow, anyone willing to beat the lowest price on kakaku.com is a good man Link to post Share on other sites

Nagoya is abit anal, but I don't get out to the denki shops much these days. Usually just do my research on the net, go to my local and exy eiden and feel the thing then buy on the net. I am sure sometimes that if I spent a day looking i might find cheaper than kakaku ( sometimes) but my time is worth more than a few thousand in savings when I can just get it delivered to me by the next morning.
