Got my sl1000 from directfromjapan through ebay, arived in something like 8 (long) days, box was a bit damaged in transport but nothing was damaged in it. all in all happy with the price and the service. only other thing worth mentioning is the charger, very tidy little fold out thing that goes in japanese plugs, not 220 volt ones. it is clearly stated on the site but its worth mentioning again. had the charger for my 5000d but an ipaq one is easy to find too. last week the left sound channel died so have to check what to do for warranty, will post back on that.
