[@akasha6536]

an other amazing video as always :D

[@zam023]

Is it alright if I ask what concert are you going to shooting?

[@jeffreymaniego6348]

Hi Norm! Im a regular viewer of your vlogs, and it has been helpful on my trip there in Tokyo last December 3-10, 2018. May I know the title of the EDM music starting from the 1:44 to 6:25 mark of this video? Im so interested to know because I love the beat of the music. thank you!

[@mscdvo]

Tokyo Lens what’s the name of the third shop?

[@dongst89]

What is the name of the third shop? Or where is it?

[@shuny2173]

If you look for used but quality camera and lens, definitely go to Map camera in Shinjuku. You will be surprised how wide their collection is. Each floor is designated for 1-3 camera manufacturers, and the shop has 7 or 8 storeys.

[@TokyoLens]

Nice!! Thanks

[@omarsaad4196]

Apparently all Camera manus are in Japanese and no one mentioned that in their vedios ?!!! What can I do with a cheap camera of Japanese manu, nothing absolutely nothing

[@TokyoLens]

Omar Saad Sorry but that’s Wrong It’s highly dependent on the camera maker Sony won’t let you change the menu language But canon will Etc

[@subarusensei3685]

I love there ebay store there c grade is still amazing.

[@willemakit48]

Love Map Camera, Sometimes on Ebay and they have a lot online as well, that are not in their stores. Hoping to visit in the summer to get some lenses

[@kellyrowe4075]

Honestly one of my favorite little things about Japan is how the shops are set up especially the small cramped hidden gems you have to search for it’s like organized mass chaos!

[@TokyoLens]

Me too!

[@michaelcherry8952]

You have got to be the only one I know of that can turn a last-minute errand into a fascinating excursion. I truly believe you could make an award-winning video about looking for toothpaste!

[@TokyoLens]

just psyched that I had the camera with me that day! ALMOST left it at home lol

[@michaelcherry8952]

Canon--Don't Leave Home Without It! :)

[@MrsInAbox]

Well now I want a video on toothpaste buying in Japan

[@DanielKimY]

I’m rewatching and using this guide for a purchase in 2022. The exchange rate is nuts right now to not to buy in Japan. Good job on the video Norm and thanks!

[@Gantorin]

I visited that exact place by accident. You showed the light shop on the corner, and I knew... I LITERALLY went in because when I saw it... I thought... Norm checks out these types of places. I was blown away. I totally get the "best photos" remark... as I limped by I thought the same thing of the person behind the counter... Just felt so authentic. City stuff was kinda boring me, and really wanted to see what Japan might have been like in the old days... It did not disappoint. I was tapping my toe to that music sir... Awesome video!

[@TokyoLens]

lol that is amazing!!

[@Gantorin]

Tokyo Lens Most have walked (limped) by like 10 times before getting adventurous... FYI... Limp is all gone, and mended well. :D

[@nadiaaguirre1513]

As the technoholic I am I find this video extremely satisfying ❤️ !!!

[@vp4744]

That was a dangerous video. I should stay away from these places as I suffer from GAS, gear acquisition syndrome.

[@TokyoLens]

lol that makes two of us~

[@meganhammond7030]

You and me both, friend!

[@ashtrees8969]

I feel 😭

[@saphirsteph]

Ahhhhhh I remember seeing little girls like that dressed in maid outfits when I walked around Akiba, they were so cute!! 😊❤️ Thanks for sharing your tips on camera shopping!

[@TokyoLens]

my pleasure!

[@repHAWAIIxJPN]

I can’t wait for the day I get to walk the streets of Akihabara ! Thanks for the great places to go and pick things up from

[@KennyYokoyama]

Man, Akihabara never ceases to amaze me. Gonna need to check some of those places next time I'm visiting!

[@AustinJEller]

Norm, super happy you made this video. I'm finally getting my Canon T7i (Or 800D in other countries) this fall for my journalism courses. I'll be bringing it with me when I go study abroad in Japan for a year in the fall of 2019, and I'm sure to buy some more lenses/equipment while I'm there. Definitely a big help! Will absolutely start making some KZbin videos with it so your videos on cameras are always appreciated.

[@XOyo-kaiWatch]

Videos like this are really useful for aspiring bloggers like myself ❤

[@Jakta6166]

Awesome adventure day in Akihabara! My goal is to send my father on a retirement trip to Japan, to relive his glory days of navigating Tokyo's wild used camera & tech scene! Missing "home" so much!

[@gorecrux]

Ok your favorite shop reminds me of a shop my dad used to take me into as a kid. He's a huuuuge electronics nerd. Some of my best memories are with my dad in shops like that, browsing new and old stuff. Cool video, Norm!

[@TokyoLens]

Thanks Rachel~

[@oumae1558]

i love your vids, have been watching them this whole evening, you put out much better content than heaps of other youtubers in japan

[@MikeTheGamer77]

Being in Japan is awesome. I love watching videos like this now, as opposed to before I moved here, and recognizing these places. Its an awesome feeling. I know that place, I know that place too. XD

[@AKjohndoe]

Love the retail therapy episodes! Perfect B-roll as always love the close ups of cool stuff!

[@NoshAbroad]

Another note about Yodabashi. The Points Card and the Tex Free are both great tips. I don't know if it is still an option, but when i was at yodabashi last year they also offered an additional t e n percent off if you used a VISA CC. Now, I know not everyone has or wants to use credit.. But when you stack that with the Tex Free and the Points discount you are talking about some serious savings. Also consider that Yodabashi sells a LOT of goods beyond just consumer and household electronics. They sell a lot of popular tourist items like sunscreen, pens, snacks, candy and cosmetics. ALL Tex Free shops have requirements that you spend some minimum amount. Unusually between 5000 - 10000 yen to benefit from Tex Free. So its often better to get these purchases all done at once, if possible. saving yourself the headache of finding a few itms to bring you over the Tex Free threshold. As for mail-order... well thats great if you live in Japan but isn't really an option for those in a hotel or even an Air BNB. still always good to know such options exist

[@NoshAbroad]

I have nothing against Texas. Sorry! But I guess talking about CC's Tex and savings flagged every spam filter on youtube.

[@TokyoLens]

thats a really neat point mate! Thanks for sharing They will competitively price match if you are buying anything big!

[@NoshAbroad]

I had to use tex to bypass the filter... so no, that wouldn't work because "tax" was the trigger.

[@mediumjohnsilver]

I appreciate the excitement that you feel when you go up the stairs into that favorite specialty shop. It reminds me of the times I would climb the stairs to a comic book shop in Ann Arbor (Michigan), and later when I would climb the stairs to a used record shop in Alexandria (Virginia). Somehow the stairs add to the experience.

[@ashtrees8969]

This was super helpful!! I’m heading to Japan next week so someone’s going to have to hold me back from these stores. I hope I’ll be able to meet you!

[@TokyoLens]

Fingers crossed!

[@koraXro]

Perfect 😍😍 need to buy one in Tokyo as its so much cheaper than Europe. My life saviour

[@AlexScene]

I usually buy film cameras each time I go to Tokyo. Japan is really overpriced even for used gear, but the quality of that used gear is just insane. Almost mint.

[@BathoryBat]

I love old cameras! the camera I learned on was a sears camera from the 90's, i think, and it was really funny because most of the people in my classes had newer cameras that wouldn't work at all without batteries, but the batteries in mine only powered the light meter. The rest is mechanical. Which turned out to be really good for me because on the first day of class, my battery died, and I couldn't find a replacement for months! It really made me develop instincts for my aperture and exposure that really are priceless to me now. And my professor let me shoot on a TLR she had, for a few weeks and that's just really fun. I used it for a project where I was shooting in public and TLRs are just great for shooting from the hip. I've been wanting to beef up my camera collection and it's like the second on my list (after a digital camera).

[@saypinecone]

I'm not really even into cameras and gear but this video was so fun to watch. Keep it up Norm!

[@colette8022]

The video just for me. Great tips for when I (probably) come down to Tokyo next month.

[@DeadPixel614]

AGAIN, with the amazing video work. Great video Norm!!

[@TokyoLens]

Thanks, Nick~

[@idha39]

I honestly prefer to get my things second hand from auctions or pawn shops, so i guess 2:40 is the best advice for me in this video.

[@sammileft587]

This is very useful ! I already know I'll be tempted to buy a camera to take amazing shots of Japan !

[@zenbugami]

Really cool guide, I hope you've helped a lot of people thanks to that! 😀

[@SiOgie]

Great video and infos! Thank you for sharing this places and will visit all of them to see which one will fit to my needs.

[@DrMuFFinMan]

Thanks for all the information and hope to use it someday.

[@sasuke1243]

A fun romp around Tokyo, love it.

[@AlbertSiegel]

LOL! The first store to avoid in your video is the same one I warn everyone about. The first time I went there and asked about a price really shocked me. I thought I did not hear him correctly. The prices are insane. Still, that shop has been there for quite a few years, so it seems that he might just sell enough to stay in business.

[@Simon-bd3cv]

I just put tokyo lens thrift store and this popped up i love it i was searching for such a guide as i will be movi g there and want a cheap camera

[@johnalbrecht6]

Hi Norm! I'm in Tokyo right now and on my way to Kitamura Camera to pick up a cheap camera thanks to your video!

[@Lestatsuxme1013]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for an Akihabara camera store recommendations video! 📸

[@akasha6536]

thank you for always caring about us :) you an amazing dude :D

[@meganhammond7030]

"Moderately exciting news..." oh the humility. I break everything I touch too, relatable :/. Have a great week y'all!

[@TokyoLens]

lol thanks Megan~

[@XShadowPrincessXx]

Love the music choice for this episode Norm!

[@TokyoLens]

its been a year and I still appreciate it!

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Great post, awesome info, thanks for making this, it’s super helpful! Also, that bridge is going to haunt your dreams! 🤣

[@algawi69]

this information I was looking for where to find used items + cheap, keep it up bro

[@Tokyodrew]

Great video Norm! Been to the same shop AND I do agree to avoid the first shop also. Well presented vlog today 👍 keep our real bro

[@TokyoLens]

Cheers Drew!

[@carenbons8103]

Yay, I got to your New Video within 2 hours this time LOL, Awesome Video as always, I recognized that last place you were in if I remember right you took Sharla there when she was needing a new camera. I'm not overly familiar with Japan, how far from Tokyo is Kobe? I have a friend that lives in Kobe. most of the time we have a little trouble communicating because of different languages,but we do ok for the most part.

[@TokyoLens]

Pretty far~ At least half a day by bus Less by train!

[@laxcdn]

Going to go to these places next month. Hopefully I will bump into you in Tokyo.

[@redoctober6521]

Love me some Book Off. I stop in each one I find and check out the used blu-rays.

[@TokyoLens]

Im all about the used game systems there lol

[@thempstead]

I've spent way to much in Book Off over the years ... It's it wrong to have the proximity to local book off stores as one of the criteria for picking hotels when visiting different places in Japan?

[@redoctober6521]

Nope, I will map an area I’m staying in and find the Book Offs, Donki, and Family Marts/7-Elenen/Lawsons before my visit.

[@thempstead]

I used to check convenience store locations before going ... but then I figured the chances are if you walk a hundred yards in any direction from any city based hotel then you are likely to hit (at least) one anyway :) ... or I just ask at hotel reception

[@MageThief]

I'm a sucker for those point cards, I have Sofmap, Bic Camera and Yodobashi :D I had so much points at Sofmap one time that I bought a new smartphone for a friend for almost nothing. But yeah, the back-alleys are the goldmines of Akiba. Oh yeah, I never get a insurance of my tech stuff, I am one of those who never damage them.

[@TokyoLens]

lol wish I never damaged anything...

[@MageThief]

I can be your "care about your little tech friends" guru ha ha

[@benndoverr5233]

If I was living in Tokyo I would be in that last shop all the time. I think Akihabara looks like it would be really fun to explore over and over again. Cool and fun video. 👍

[@kungfool69]

ahhh Norm!! my wife and I, plus our 2 year old child (you helped me stay sane during difficult child birth back in 2021) are finally coming back to japan to vist this nov! I'll be hunting down bargains for my Panasonic Lumix G9

[@cinematicjapan]

:O I didn't even know those pathways had a second floor!!! Gorgeous B-Roll footage by the way!! I'm loving the quality of your footage lately!!! Are you still shooting on the 80D? I know you mentioned getting a new camera recently! (not the one in the video haha)

[@midorisakura1678]

Nice to know about forfeiting point at yodobashi! I didn’t know about that ! Great video as always :)

[@AngelMercury]

Ah, I wish I'd had this video before our last trip to Japan. We walked all over every city we went to looking for a specific camera at a good price and couldn't catch a break. The points thing explains why the price was higher than we expected. Tried to find some smaller shops and the one we managed to find was closed x.x Def saving this video for our next visit!

[@TokyoLens]

Yea Shop hours in Akihabara tend to suck a little

[@lucie4776]

That was so fun! I don't even care about cameras, I liked the energy and the secret shops.

[@TokyoLens]

Aww thank you~

[@akasha6536]

sup bro, I'm so happy to be awake for your video & I hope your having an awesome day :)

[@TokyoLens]

I'm pretty pumped about it too!

[@akasha6536]

Glad to hear so :)

[@kacazeka]

Amazing video as always! . I know you went to Super Potato before but where would be a good place for used modern video game consoles? Don't know if you already covered that in a previous video or planning too.

[@shawnee2062]

The selection in Akihabara is insane! 😱

[@TokyoLens]

It is!! Almomst as awesome as a.... sunrise-parking-garage-rooftop!! lol Hey Shawnee~

[@shawnee2062]

Tokyo Lens 😂😂😂 *almost.* I beat Tokyo this round! Hey Norm!

[@musiclaura]

Norm! You're the go-to guy for this. I have a conundrum and need some advice. I recently and accidentally bought a broken Canon Powershot G7X Mark I from Yahoo Auctions. They didn't lie, I just didn't pay enough attention to the tiny detail that nothing shows up on the camera and it doesn't take pics or video despite turning on. I'm fairly adept at fixing things BUT cameras worry me due to delicate cables that can ruined. So, my question is what should I do? I'm trying not to spend a crap ton of money. Should I buy some replacement parts and try to fix it myself? I think it needs a new LCD and new lens which seem not too hard to change out (so I think). OR should I send it off to the professionals to get fixed which would take a lot of time and money and by the end of it I might end up spending more for that than a new camera. OR should I keep this camera, maybe try to fix it, but maybe just buy a new one anyway? I guess I'm wondering if it's worth it to fix it/get it fixed. Sorry for asking advice in a comment on your vid, but you know about cameras. And you're also in Japan. Help?

[@go0ku104]

Always trust a man with an awesome beard! Consistently thorough and very informative, thank you...and Godspeed with future endeavors 🤞

[@TokyoLens]

Haha thanks so much~

[@aliciacarr9014]

"The cameras that they do have are usually older." Hey, that looks like my camera... Oh yeah, I've had it for a decade easily so that counts as older I guess.

[@TokyoLens]

lol this comment for the win today~

[@personalcontrasts73]

Thanks for sharing these shops and infos. Always like to see what gear you are using. I have been having my eye on a Sony Alpha for some months now, because she makes beautiful videos. But creating videos at this moment is not part of my live (and for that kinda money I really should use the camera). I do plan to create some music with singing bowls and intuitive singing in the near future though. Hopefully next year. Might start with my iPhone 11 though and maybe a the RØDE NT-USB Mini (but that might not be a good choice for outdoor recordings.....

[@thatdesiree]

Love it! Shopping for camera gear can be super daunting... too much choice! :)

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

I'll definitely keep this stuff in mind when I visit! Much love from Arizona ❤️ ❤️watching this while I get ready for work 😜

[@TokyoLens]

Hey Chelsea~ Sending love right back at you~

[@Gantorin]

Chelsea Carpenter Have a fun trip! Norm will fill your site list FOR SURE!

[@Count-Drekon]

very nice guide thanks for that norm

[@user-yr2gm5ni4c]

Today was grate just like this video. Hope everyone that see this has an awesome day

[@kateinapie]

Uumm... did you read my mind? 😂 Great timing! I will definitely check out these recommendations! Thanks Norm 😊

[@TokyoLens]

lol I might have....

[@kateinapie]

Tokyo Lens I’ll allow it! 😎

[@jennifersheridan3368]

I really enjoy your videos. Don't miss any ☺☺❤

[@TokyoLens]

Thank you Jennifer!

[@squidbolz09]

Subscribed! Great video. By the way whats the name of your fave second hand shop and any landmarks where to find it exactly?

[@franziska4936]

I would love to visit that shop with used camera lenses some time 😍

[@cocoish]

I'm actually really wanting to buy this camera! To know it's called the Kiss M and not the M50 in Japan makes me want to buy it there instead of here (Canada). Love the videos Norm! You're teaching me so much for when I one day (hopefully) embark on my Japan journey.

[@TokyoLens]

It's a really interesting little camera! Loving the versatility and all the little things it can do!

[@cocoish]

I've been using a Powershot SX50HS for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it but am looking to upgrade and all the functions plus the fact that I could wait a while before needing to upgrade again really has me gunning for it. (Going to use it for simple photography and vlogging mostly)

[@genjii931]

If only they hadn't crippled the 4K video on it. The successor is rumored to be announced later this year, though, so we'll see.

[@cocoish]

Don't say that to me I wanted to upgrade before September. I'm not particularly looking to record in 4K just yet tbh, because it hasn't become the standard, but maybe if they announce it soon, the Kiss M/M50 will become cheaper so maybe I should wait anyways?

[@JohnKevinBautista]

Thank you for sharing! I will visit Akihabara this coming week~ 😁

[@valchiridran]

Awesome vid! Just in time for my next trip. Curious which shop you took Sherry for the memory card though. I need to get one when I'm there.

[@TokyoLens]

Pretty sure that's in the vid with Sherry! If my memory is right, it was Akibaoo!

[@valchiridran]

Thanks Norm! I'm guessing they have several locations around Akihabara?.

[@thesararobertson]

YAY! Thank you so much Norm! Always look forward to your videos.

[@TokyoLens]

Thanks so much~

[@Gnecdea]

I love being part of the regular viewers. xD I'd love to go to Book Off one day (and Hard Off, lol).

[@Shanyandao]

God I miss Tokyo! Thank you for this video, even though I don’t know anything about cameras and dont have a need for gear I was still really excited about this video and happy to see that you uploaded it! :D That hidden place with the many little shops looked so interesting, will definitely check it out when I‘m in Akihabara. And this comparison website seems really useful, I‘ll remember that if I ever need it :P

[@choryujin1]

Hello Norm! Greetings again from Costa Rica, this was the first video I saw from your channel, at that time I suppose you were using only canon equipment to do all the video and photo work, I know this was not a canon camera review (strangely YT search pointed me to this video after searching for the canon m50) which somehow is related, since you were looking for the kiss m (Asia version) Here is Costa Rica is hard and expensive to get camera gear, we don´t have any rentals to test the gear, so I personally have to do a good search for good reviews to make sure its the gear I need. I ended up buying the m50, really great low budget camera, love the kit lens included (24-70mm in FF size if I'm not mistaken),. touch and articulated screen, pretty good AF and canon colors! that is sometime I like more than sony cameras, is the colors. After I saw this video, I was really impressed about how much good quality gear you can get in Japan, personally I started do some search on internet and saw that canon / nikon it's a better on budget options than sony, since does 2 manufactures have more time in the photo industry, you can really get good old pro glass on cheap, specially now that canon and nikon are moving to mirrorless systems... just need to buy an adapter and do a good search to see where you can get good used lens. I prefer to buy better glass instead of a super pro body, so if I want FF I can go with the canon RP, buy the adapter and search for old good 24-70L lens on cheap, that would be a good starting point to have a good body with a great lens :D

[@EmmaFAULT]

Are you irish? BTW Loving the video, can't bledy wait to get to Akihabara!

[@qadaroovshow160]

Thanks for the very informative video might by a laptop while im in Tokyo

[@TokyoLens]

for that, I would 100% recommend online!

[@JaysMackie]

Want a new lens before I go, but 3/4 of the price there, dilemma! Not a dilemma tho, mark off a whole day for poking around all the back alleys and 2nd hand stores for fun stuff, and have space in my bag to take it home again. Totally loved the music on this one.

[@AScileppi387]

I’m glad you can find places that insure non Norm proof items like cameras 😂

[@TokyoLens]

lol yea~ Definitely need it haha

[@gennie1975]

Well done Norm! Very informative and helpful! Thanks :)

[@TommyCrosby]

Buying high end camera gear in a cash only shop in Canada (or pretty much all western countries) is unthinkable... Japan is weird =P

[@TokyoLens]

lol it definitely didnt feel japan-level-safe to walk around with that much cash lol

[@cristianamonteanu1869]

Japan is the most safe country in the world.and all are High tech thats why i love japan😘

[@vu_derArchitekt]

It is normal in Germany in úsing cash to buy high end (luxury) stuffs

[@MSmith-Photography]

Thanks for the advice...if I ever get to Tokyo.

[@jaysonmarkstaana4462]

Nice video Tokyo Lens I like it

[@svelloso4145]

What is the name of the last store u went to, please?

[@OllamhDrab]

Oh, cools, here's one I was wondering if you'd ever do, turns out you already had before I was a regular viewer. I wonder what the situation for film availability is? I figure exposing to fewer x-rays would be good on a trip.

[@MissMugiwara]

Need to study but for a vlog from Norm I can take a 10 minute break :D

[@joshuamstark]

Totally cool. Could you update this for 2022? Pretty please?

[@ww3k]

Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@LeyenaZoey]

Yeah, i like this. Subbed. (Found you via: Cycle of Dispair's Chris Abroad in Japan. Clicked website of Tokyo Creative, went to see what others are part of it. Got Surprised by a few i watched already and then found my Hobby! Photo/Film making! Will binge some more vids now! Cya!)

[@perdomot]

Gonna check out the Kitamura store when I visit as my old point and shoot camera is almost dead now. BTW, can we assume the hair cut did not go well by the new baseball cap? LOL

[@jjccllgg]

WHat are the directions to the last place you said you loved and it was not only cameras? I am in Yokosuka and can go to Akihabara.

[@thempstead]

Great video as always ... Wandering around stores in Akihabara is always fun (and when you are like me and only get to go to Japan every 1.5-2 years then it's different each time). I could do with a new camera ... Unfortunately I'd need to get it before my next trip so I could work out how to use it properly ... And due to various things I'll probably end up just using my phone again (takes better pics than my old camera anyway) Btw sometimes your onscreen text during the video could really do with being onscreen a bit longer particularly with the font you use (e.g. that price comparison site name).

[@LaithGraham]

I think I've been to a few of these shops. :D I was just thinking, the first video of yours that I watched was about you destroying your camera gear. Which I watched around march or april. I've just gone back and watched your very first videos with Sharla (who's video I might have led me to you, or it was Peter McKinnons when he broke his $6000 Canon 1D.) Wow you've come a long way. Congrats man. Next time I'm in Japan visiting the in-laws I'd like to buy you a beer (or coffee if you don't drink). Cheers!

[@alexagossou8213]

Thank you so much for the great ideas

[@omaralghamdi8287]

I visited Kitamura Camera two days ago. The prices were good but staff aren't friendly at all. MapCamera in Shinjuku for used camera gear is the best for me

[@village_mayor]

Holy crap you are so tempting me to get new gear. Thanks LOL

[@TokyoLens]

do it!! or dont lol save that money!

[@village_mayor]

I went to the website you recommended and I am now very tempted to get the Canon M100. I have the Sony A5000 and I think its decent enough for my needs. I am not sure if the Canon is an upgrade from the Sony I have now. But the prices are so tempting compared to Canadian prices. And like you said, tax free!!

[@Nurfa.iqah.1]

The video i needed!! Thanks Norm!! Thought i’d find a google map link for the places in the description box tho. I still cant figure out where that last shop is LOL. Next trip gonna be me hunting for it!! Gotta find that shop 😆😆

[@TokyoLens]

There’s no google map link for that last shop! That’s why I show exactly how to find it! So glad you enjoyed this Happy to get it out to you!

[@Nurfa.iqah.1]

Tokyo Lens aww ok!!! Will save this video for reference when im back in jp!! Idm doing some hunting for this shop 😂

[@abdurrahmanm6048]

Thanks for pin pointing the stores ✌🏻❤️

[@iamchriss77]

They are going to have to start paying you for advertising lol. Love your enthusiasm, it always makes me smile.

[@emgriego1]

What is a good beginner camera for a photography noob?
