What's the different between this model vs the Non-Japan model? I see they have 2 different model on Amazon and I'm a bit confuse.

I did not find any difference other than the packaging and directions in japanese. I think it boils down to the fact that the American model is discontinued

I do not have both models to compare so I don't the Non-Japan Model. In my case, last year when I bought the first one, there was only one model #DR-BTN200 (Japanese version) on the list. I am very happy with this headset. So, I have bought the second one for my wife recently. Here are features that I am very pleased:- Battery is last very long as spec (40 hours, really)- Sound is pretty good- Bluetooth antenna is strong, no interruption when listening music- Voice commands via Bluetooth work very well for both Samsung "S-Voice" and "Google Now" using Samsung Galaxy S5 I do not have both models to compare so I don't the Non-Japan Model.

I have a question, and thank you.Basically of Sony pat it, and is the same.Because you can change the languages by setting, it is the same.For a difference, made places are different.The product made in Japan is made in Japan, but the edition in Asia is foreign countries.In addition, the software which there is in down low in software and a site is different.Because use in Japan applies, the software guarantees only a thing for Japan the product made in Japan.Conversely, the Asian product made in may use the software of the Asian area and the software for Japan in applying to the software which I downloaded, but is out of a guarantee object.The main difference is such a feeling.Thank you.

Thanks for your great response NLee the Engineer. I already put in for a return to Amazon. Worse case, if I decide to re-purchase, I will be getting a free SD card in the deal. Its really a shame that the "Made in China" has such a negative stigma to it. I am sorry to hear that streamlined processes get moved to off-shore factories. I guess if I never read the responses posted here, I would never notice the difference but once you are informed, there is no going back. I looked at my last Canon SD500 camera and it was "made in Japan".

As far as I know you can't buy a new Japanese version anywhere online. Find one used on Craigslist and have it rebuilt, if it even needs it. My Japanese version is almost 10 years old, heavily used daily and besides a couple minor/cheap repairs runs like new. Don't buy the Chinese version, u will be disappointed

These are now made in China but if you get lucky some older stock are still made in Japan. There are several reviews about the difference and it's about half and half about the picture quality of the Chinese made model. Who knows you might get lucky. Cheers.

John, if you get one that happened to have a Japanese menu I would just return it. The one I got is in English. I never gave it a second thought, actually. What a great camera. Very very nice.....

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.

My guess is this is shipped directly from a warehouse in Japan. Mine arrived four weeks after the order was placed. That one in stock on Amazon could have been a customer return.

It's companay is Japan but this is made in China. If you want Japanese made, you need to get JNP model. See my review for the difference.

Sanyo it appears does not want to market these in the US as it is absent from their US webpage. J&R Electronics does not post it on their web site, but I was able to place a telephone order for one for $699. I'll see in a couple of days if I got what I ordered or not... --R

denpends on where you buy it. Most of them only have Japanese interface; some of them may have English interface although the price may be different.

We had a 2007 Helsio when we lived in Japan and loved it. I do not know which model number. When we moved to the US, we bought this version to replace our Japanese one. It's cooking menu is obviously more western food centric. I prefer it to our built in thermador oven. I hope this helps. And if you really what the specifics, I would call Sharp. Hopefully they will know the differences between the models.

Those things are noted by Amazon not us, both models are the same except for the color difference.

Could you tell me if the place of origin has anything to do with whether or not Canon will honor the warranty? I was told by a vendor that if a canon camcorder was a "Japanese" model, Canon would not honor the warranty, and that if it was a US camcorder, they would. Is that true and how can you tell if the camcorder you buy is one or the other?

mine is from the Philippines as well. A model is made japan, but when you purchase on line you do not know which model you will receive.

I only ordered the Nisaku brand one so I don't have this one but I don't think there will be any difference at all. The Nisaku is perfect as others say this one is. I'll probably order another one since they are so useful. If I do I will order this one for comparison if it is still $2.50 cheaper. I ordered my Nisaku through "Japan Tools" handled by Amazon. The description of the other one is wrong at this writing. The length given is shorter but the Nisaku that I received was excactly the the same as the description for this one, 12 1/2' long with a 7 1/4" blade and a tang going into the wood handle 2 1/4".
