It's Made in Vietnam! Yes, Vietnam! I couldn't believe it myself! I just shopped for nearly two weeks for a new camera. I personally went with a Sony! They still make a lot of their cameras in JAPAN! Some are made in China, just like all the other brands. But the Sony's made in China seemed better constructed to me. Also, Sony cameras are all made at Sony owned factories! Not out-sourced like many others!

How can made in Vietnam better than made in China ? It never will be and the my personal experience have proven made in vietnam is way worse than made in China and it can't compare to made in India. Only those viets would say made in Vietnam better than China, how laughable.

According to the box containing the FZ200, the camera is made in Japan. The batteries and charger are of foreign origin (almost certainly China) again according to information provided on the box.

I believe a vast majority..if not ALL Canon digcams are still Made in Japan. My S5 is..down even to the optional accessories like the LAH-DC20 Hood/Lens Adapter to the TC-DC58B 58mm 1.5x Wide Tele Lens...Yep, this is one of my main reasons to get a Canon...not far behind though IMO are precision German optics, i.e. B&W;/Heliopan lenses that I won't mind adding as accessories.But pass on China Made "precision" stuff (not that I hate products from China).p.s. In due fairness, I think the Chinese are the nicest and smartest people I know...(as in my phat and very entrepreneurial Chinese girlfriend from Tianjin).:D I believe a vast majority..if not ALL Canon digcams are still Made in Japan.

This camera is made in Japan by Panasonic. It is branded Leica but basically a Panasonic DMC LX7K. All specs are the same, the body is almost a clone. The major difference is the superior finish and material feel of the Leica, the Leica name, and the software suite which is more extensive. I bought the Leica because I wanted the Leica name and software but bought the optional Panasonic branded electronic rangefinder eye piece. Save over $100 from the exact same piece with the Leica name on it. Ether way, whether you go whole hog for the Leica or save money with the Panasonic, its a terrific camera with an exquisite lens.

Japan and USA warranty. By the way, I never needed to use a warranty with a canon lens. This one is wonderful.

I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month. I should have contacted the seller and demand to know before I bought (but didn't think of it). The printed manual is all in Japanese, but the camera menus are in English and the English manual is online. The camera is great, so far, producing fabulous shots with all the control I needed. Don't like having to remove the battery to recharge, fear something might break, but so far OK. Yes it ships immediately, but doesn't arrive for &gt;week since it ships from Japan. Seems like these details should be required by Amazon before listing.

The camera itself is made in Japan. You'll find your model no. on the bottom for registration along with the printed "Made in Japan".

The SD 940 I purchased new from Amazon in March 2010 was made in Japan. By Dec 2010 the SD 940 (from the members only warehouse store) sold with case and memory card was made in China. I also have SD 780 bought new from Amazon in July 2009; made in Japan. Both cameras, treated like they fine crystal, produce amazing photos.

I can't say for sure, but I'll guess that the Amazon one is covered by a Canon USA warranty, while the one from Japan isn't. Maybe the sellers can answer the question.

From what I understand it is made by canon but it's made for other countries. So, basically it's a canon without the warranty. I've used mine quite a bit and haven't had a problem yet.

As far as I know it is an original. I have 2 of them and they work great. I like this model because the battery sits down in the unit when charging and it has 2 separate light indicators, "orange" while charging, and "Green" when complete. For your question, on the back, it has information about the charger, and at the bottom, it says "Canon Inc. Made in China". It doesn't have any of the misprints in spelling that are found on many of the knock-offs, so my opinion is that it is a Canon product.

Hey. The Pentax is not made in Japan. It doesn't say so on the bottom of the camera I got. I think it says assembled in Vietnam or Philippines. I guess what they've done is that the parts must be Japanese but assembled in Vietnam or Philippines to keep the price low.Having said that, the quality and the feel of the camera is top knotch. Amazing camera. I couldn't be more happier than my buy.

This camera was made in China. Still an excellent camera; So far no issues. Apple has an excellent factory in China too.

It is a Panasonic Lumix battery. They are however, manufactured in China. Amusing indeed that a Japanese company would make things in China, but it is the original OEM equipment just made in China. No chinese characters on the battery I received it is genuine Panasonic Lumix.
