Because I can buy in many deterrent colors (white, Red and black) and cheaper than USA.

100 yen is about 1 dollar

However any Panasonic cameras that sold in japan doesn't support multi-language mode.

I wonder if I can update the Japanese firmware to English or multi-language version.
If some one could figure out this issues, I'm grad to help you to buy one from Japan as well.

I've had no luck changing my language and there have been posts on dpreview.com saying US firmware will not work with JPN hardware. This has been true for other Panasonic cameras in the past.

How do you cope with the lack of I/S in the 20mm 1.7 kit?

I just bought one at Bic Camera, and they had little signs all over saying that you could not change language from Japanese. I guess they got tired of answering the same question a million times
