The label on the bottom of mine says it is designed in Tokyo, but made in China.

No, it was not made in Japan. Information on the box it was packed in reads "Designed in U S A. Made in China. Patent Pending. However it seems to be well made.

On the bottom of the camera it says "made in Indonesia". The battery says "made in Japan".

Assembled in Thailand. Very little is actually made in Japan anymore...kind of like the USA. Doesn't mean inferior quality, though! Designs, manufacturing process, quality control are Nikon Japan, which has way too long a history of top product quality to risk it at all. Quality of my D5300 is fantastic!

Yes, of course. It clearly says "made in Japan" right in the top of the machine.

HelloThe lens says Made in Japan on it. I know that all the premium Nikon lenses and pro bodies come from Japan.

I believe that most of Canons high end equipment is made in Japan. And that's not a bad thing. Japanese photo equipment is a very well made and I've had no complaints with my equipment for 40 + years.

The high end cameras are made in Germany, the mid to low end cameras are made in Japan by Panasonic, the V-LUX 40 is made in Japan

Japan from all I can find. I thought I saw it on the camera at some point. It is on the box and the extra lense I bought.

The one I ordered from Amazon is made in Japan. However, the 14-42 mm kit lens and the battery are made in China.

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 don't see anything in English that says made in Japan. Except for some English instructions in a small booklet, everything else on the box and inside is written in what I believe to be Japanese.

There is no reason for concern, regardless of where a product is manufactured the camera will still meet Nikon's specifications. Nikon usually only makes a handful of their higher end DSLR cameras in Japan.

Mine also says "made in china". However, it is a GREAT camera with more features that I will probably never use.

I bought the camera a few months ago as an amazon warehouse deal. Mine, according to the information plate/sticker on the bottom of the camcorder, is made in China.

I'm a little surprised myself, seeing as all the other Canon Powershots I've purchased previously were all Made in Japan. I suppose for the price I can't complain too much, and it still seems to take decent shots.
