is this camera Made in Japan?

Nikon makes cameras in Japan, China or Thailand. Depends on the inventory and vendor.

Nope, made in China according to the label on the base. I doubt seriously this particular model is made anywhere but China, considering its retail price.

Stamped on the bottom of the camera it says " Made in Japan" and "Fabrique au Japan" (which is French for made in Japan).

Just checked with my husband, and this specific model is manufactured in Japan.

Yes, it is made in Japan. I bought two in 1993 and when they I need to replace them 15 years later, I couldn't find them. I'm prepared this time, I have 3!

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.

how could you recognize that your canon camera is made in Japan and not in somewhere else?

The camera says made in Japan. I have found this camera to be amazing when I don't want to carry my big camera or am not able to (concerts). A little extra time spent truly learning the functions of the camera will save you headaches later.

The camera I got came from Japan and everything was in Japanese. I tried to return it for a model with in camera instructions in English, but Amazon wouldn't accept it. There are instructions in Englishon the internet that you can download which helps but it is not the same as having a camera in English. I like the camera but unfortunately cannot use all the functions on it.

It's my husband's camera; on the bottom plate it says that it's made in Indonesia. Not sure if that's all parts, etc. This "tough" camera replaced an earlier model he had for several years. He uses it for rugged hiking and fishing and is very happy with it.

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

Thanks for your great response NLee the Engineer. I already put in for a return to Amazon. Worse case, if I decide to re-purchase, I will be getting a free SD card in the deal. Its really a shame that the "Made in China" has such a negative stigma to it. I am sorry to hear that streamlined processes get moved to off-shore factories. I guess if I never read the responses posted here, I would never notice the difference but once you are informed, there is no going back. I looked at my last Canon SD500 camera and it was "made in Japan".

Panasonic is a Japanese company but you need to be careful. The ones made for sale in Japan have the menus in Japanese and my understanding is that the menus cannot be changed to English. I do not know where the factory is that makes that model of camera if that is what you are asking. Also, be aware this model has been superseded by the DMC-ZS35, I believe. I bought the camera at the time because they were still in stock and I wanted the Leica certified lens it has mounted to the body. Hope I answered your question to your satisfaction.

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.

John, if you get one that happened to have a Japanese menu I would just return it. The one I got is in English. I never gave it a second thought, actually. What a great camera. Very very nice.....

I bought one less than a year ago, and mine was made in Japan, it probably still is. It is wonderful, I wouldn't be without one.

I believe it is. It took a long time to arrive to my location and it said made in Japan.
