The dollar has come up, but only because currency buyers are fleeing from the Euro due to Europe's debt problems.
Ironically enough, you'll get a better deal on a new Nikon where you are, the new retail prices in Japan tend to be 25% higher than in America (or Australia) despite the weakness of their dollars. Best deals are in Hong Kong or Singapore.
I've pretty much stopped using my D300 since I got my Leica. I'm tired of digital, film is much more fun. I may trade the D300 in for a D700 or D3, it would be nice to have a full-frame camera to go with my old AIS lenses.
