I've noticed this in a lot of Asia that I've visited so far. Stores seem to have a weird fear of cameras. Everything from figurine shops in Akihibara to a Magic the Gathering store I found in Hong Kong had a little "No camera" symbol on the glass display cases. I think they're either really touchy about people comparing prices (or possibly a competitor spying on them) or privacy of some sort. *Shrug*[/COLOR]
It could be that they're afraid you'll use the photos to make counterfeit stuff, or (in the more shifty areas) they *are* selling counterfeit stuff and afraid you're gathering evidence to bust them.
