buying a duty free camera in Japan

My wife is passing through Tokyo Airport on her way to Bangkok for a business trip. She only has a 1 hr layover each way. We are both interested in buying a "pro-sumer" level digital SLR camera.
Does anyone have experience buying electronics in the Tokyo Airport or in the city of Bangkok? How much typically could we save on a US$1000 camera? I know that the normal USA duty allowance is the first $400 free, then 10% of the next $1000. Is a "duty free" purchase totally free of any duty charges, as the name would suggest?
Any commensts or advice?
TIA.
