And the owner gets so upset about it they usually explode on folk that warn them off or later when they can't find support. You are about to make a bad decision that others have done before. The only new thing is that you may not know anyone that got STUCK and HURT by such a decision.
If you don't know Japanese, you don't want this.

Sony HDR-CX720V camcorder comes with Japanese instructions and operating system. Its overseas counterpart is HDR-PJ720E, I suppose. The price difference is huge. CX720V costs around 78000 JPY while PJ720E costs around 130000 JPY.
Hence, I want to buy CX720V, the japanese version. can anybody suggest if this one is usable with the help of PJ720E English manual? How easy or tough is it going to be?
