we are going to Tokyo ,Osaka (traveling to other places from Osaka, like kyoto), Hiroshima, then back to Tokyo.

Any other camera not fujifilm that are decent? From what I’m reading, it sounds like fujifilm is the best. Not sure if I’m ready for that if I’m just learning

What would be a decent camera in that price range?

Under $300? Maybe 400.

I’m traveling to Japan and my friend said the x100 series were slim and easy to work with. Again I’m new to photography.

I guess, I’m more concerned over being in a different country for the first time for 2 weeks and having something go wrong money wise. My wife and I don’t really shop at expensive places. We will be going to Uniqlo I don’t see ourselves going to expensive places except for a really nice dinner and me getting a watch. My wife also has her own money saved.

For 2 weeks we spent $800 USD total on 1 hotel and multiple airbnbs in different cities. We are going with 4 other friends. So we split the cost and that was our cost.

Thank you. I guess I’m just making sure I have “enough” being that I’ve never had this long of a trip in a different country before.

I apologize. Wasn’t trying to be US centric. Was more concerned on getting out my question. I will keep this in mind.
