Okay nisegaijin, what model do you have? I thought we were talking about Panasonic's micro four-thirds cameras. All of those babies have Japanese Only menus in Japan. I know. I have tried vainly to get a G-1 with an English menu. Nothing doing. Japanese Only in Japan. Abroad I can…

I am still celebrating. Never thought I'd see it my lifetime. What's next? Foreigners treated like normal human-beings perhaps. The mind boggles.

Dumping the LDP was long overdue. Good riddance!

No one is spreading falsies. Go to the local camera store, pick up a Panasonic four-thirds camera and try and find an English menu. I've talked to Panasonic reps and have had camera shops contact Panasonic with the same result. Japanese Only. No exceptions. As I said, there is no…

Thanks for your imput nisegaijin. Curious if your Sony has an international guarantee. Panasonic offers no such thing. If you buy abroad and your panasonic breaks down you have to send it back to the dealer you bought it from. Now Olympus gives you an international guarantee and a choice…

Look at it this way, a prime minister whose wife believes she traveled to Venus beats having the LDP in power.

This is Bush's stupid war passed on to Obama who ought to have the sense to get out while the getting is good. Most Americans oppose this war. Finally.

Check out the prices of comparable cameras. It doesn't cost anything to have a choice of languages in a menu. The choice wouldn't boost the price of a camera by 25% Where do you get that figure, ebisen?

If ever Mrs Hatoyama meets Mrs Obama I wonder what they'll talk about?

Mrs. O.: How did Obama City get its name, Miyuki?

Mrs. H.: He lived there in a previous lifetime. By the way, you have a very nice aura.

Panasonic sells the only Japanese Only cameras in Japan. Everyone else offers a choice of languages. If you buy a Panasonic abroad you don't get an international warranty. It is no problem to put a choice of languages into a menu. This is a good company to avoid for political…

The phony election that has retained the current president has wrecked the credibility of Iran's theocratic state in ways that all the shrill propaganda from the Bush gang and Israel's Zionist fanatics could not. The arrest of the British embassy staff is in reality a desperate move to prove that…
