Hello Guy, Yes there are 4 used camera shops that I know of within 15 mins walk of Osaka Station. Happy to fill you in if you need info.

Thanks for that. Rube39 who teaches in Osaka had previously sent me some names of places so I guess that they would be much the same. We'll get to Osaka with a day trip from Kyoto at some stage.

If you would kindly list the shops' names and/or streets it would be of help. Thanks.

I found this http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/35111591 and this http://hammerhead-shark.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/above-osaka-and-second-hand-camera.html which does help. Also http://www.japancamerahunter.com/2013/05/the-complete-tokyo-camera-shopping-guide/ for Tokyo. I remember on a previous Tokyo visit wandering past a shop in Ginza that was chock-a-block with used Nikon lenses, prices seemed high but the range of used goods was fantastic.

The Japanese are really camera crazy and they seem to update their gear often.

Regards.... Guy
