Almost all chargers sold today will feature a power supply that can take any voltage in the world. If not then you can probably find something that will work in oz on ebay

You'll probably be better off buying a camera where you are. Prices in Japan could be higher. Plus there maybe a problem with the warranty once you take it out of the country.Not to mention the added cost of buying a voltage converter.

You will probably need an adapter but usually the cameras come with such things incorporated... I bought a Nikon from US and I am using it in Europe with no problem. I just changed the power adapter and I am charging my camera battery simple. You should ask the camera salesman if the camera you want to buy has an adapter incorporated and if not how much cost one and where can you find it. Good luck
