I have been walking around numerous times with my Panasonic DV camera stuffed in my underpants wink
Walks a bit hard but it does the trick, when you go in just talk on the phone to someone in your native language and switch to the guys checking to ask them something stupid (where's the cloakroom, toilets etc)
Works for me!
I really had good experiences with just a simple DV camera, usually the sound works out fine.
Just switch off the "zoom" microphone, this messed up my Depeche Mode in Rotterdam video in 2006, super video...but the sound is like coming through a pipe sometimes :rolleyes:
The focus thing is something else though.

Seeing those pictures makes me wanna go Japan! cool
I wish all a great time overthere smile

greetings,
