Is this model currently made in Japan? I am reading conflicting reviews as of recent, I want to make sure you did not switch models. Thanks!

I am not sure of the country of origin for the 46 mm filter. The one I purchased is a Hoya 58mm UV(C). It was made in the Philippines. It works just fine with no problems.

mine is from the Philippines as well. A model is made japan, but when you purchase on line you do not know which model you will receive.

I have no idea. I will double check on the lens cover itself. I no longer have the box.

Looks like it is still made in Japan ( at least it has note on it - "Made in Japan") :)

On the back along with model number it says "made in Japan". This is our second winter with our hot water boiler and we love it. I first saw this item on a trip to Malaysia.

It is made in Japan. There is a video on youtube about how they do it. I love mine!

The i have is made in China. the ones from Japan will be more expensive I've had zero problems with mine

Yes it is. I'd advise you buy from the U.K or U.S if you want to enjoy durability and quality. It's not like the Japan versions aren't good...they are, but they just aren't at their best yet.

I just checked the filters and they say JAPAN as opposed to CHINA. I think you are good to go in that arena. Regards. Tom

I received mine today (March 2, 2015) and it is made in Thailand. I was hoping they were still made in Japan.

I previously had one made in Japan (purchased on Amazon) and my latest purchase is made in China. The quality does feel more cheap (lighter weight, typos in the packaging, although to be fair, the Japanese translations have always been sketchy). I will be returning - I wish Amazon would be more forthcoming about the switch.

Mine was made in Japan. I think this question has cropped up before and there seemed to be some variance. I would be extremely surprised if they're not all made in Japan. Why set up any form of manufacturing base elsewhere when you can just ship them over.

Mine is clearly marked "made in China" but it seems to be very reliable, is built very solidly and works pretty much as expected. Almost every consumer electronic product retailing at under $1000 of Japanese design is now made in China or Korea. This is clearly a Tascam designed product, and hopefully, Tascam also oversees the quality assurance of the production line. They are , of course, putting their corporate reputation on the line. It's interesting that many people today see Japanese made products as a "gold standard". I'm old enough to remember when most Japanese export products were literally made out of metal recycled from soda and beer cans and were likely to fail in the first few minutes of operation, if they worked at all. Just wait a couple of years and there will be people wishing for Chinese manufactured electronic products, since most production will then be shifted to Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyway, China or Japan, it really shouldn't matter if the device works well (as long as you don't worry about it being made of lead, melamine and used Toyota accelerator pedal assemblies). :-)

I believe it is made in Japan. I wouldn't let this scare you. It's a well made, strong device that is very sharp. You won't dull this anytime soon.

China, not Japan. Hitachi corporate is in Japan. Read the label carefully. My 15 year old version was made in Singapore.

A camera store near me says this camera is manufactured in Japan. I called canon to see if there were manufacturing delays due to the earthquake and they said "NO Comment..." Retailers do seem to be selling it but so far none of the big big retailers seem to have it in stock.Edit: One of the big retailers just got it in

I thought they were all manufactured in Japan. Hmm - you might want to Google for a more definative answer.

I bought mine in November 17, and it made the long trip from USA to Peru, i bought it in NYC, happily, the camera says : made in Japan, i trust Japanese´s quality control, and i agree with the comment of NLee the ingineer dic/28,Canon has a very good reputation and they always are supervising the productions of their products wherever it made, but if i have to choose, Japan of course!

Mine says assembled in the Phillipines. I would guess that means parts come from someplace else (probably China, maybe Japan), but no it does not say Made in Japan. That being said, I have been thrilled with the performance after some nice camping trips to Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands, Colorado, etc. (E.g. I've been using it, in various weather and conditions, without a hitch).
