    Why don't you buy one from Japan !? I guess better diversity and much less prices !?
    Seen on the nature topics few photos taken by Nikon P1000
    More HERE

    Enjoy the trip … bring back some nice photos ! :)

    If you wait and but it while you're in Japan, you might find some really good values.

    I would probably research the Japanese market. You would save the Tax by buying there. Just be aware that the warranty on the body may be Japan/Asia, but the lens should worldwide. Nikon and Canon are both Japanese based brands but a lot of their stuff is made elsewhere.
