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.

I just received the gold and it says it's Made in China. Extremely disappointed, as I had read that this was Made in Japan.

I recently bought the black model here as well and it says China in extremely small print on the bottom. I'm not surprised.

I went to pick mine up after satisfying myself that they were indeed made in Japan. My experience with my old Canon A-20 Powershot convinced me there's a difference. I'd just purchased it (2002 ?) and the next week they introduced the A-40 which offered video as well. Since I was still inside my 30 day return window I picked up the A-40 and compared the two in detail for a couple of weeks. The A-20 was made in Japan and the A-40 was made in Malaysia, or Singapore, or Myanmar. I can't remember exactly. Big difference! Fit and finish was superb on the Japanese version. Poor on the other. In one of the zoom steps I came to see an out-of-focus area where the Japanese version was consistently sharp. I returned the A-40 and kept the A-20. Still works great. Now the 780. I went to Best-Buy to pick it up and at the last second I decided I'd better verify that it was Japanese too. Nope, it was Chinese. I explained my concerns to the checker and requested to examine their inventory for the Japanese version I wanted. Fortunately, I was in luck. There was only one amongst several Chinese examples. I snapped it up and it's been just wonderful. To be completely fair and honest I must confess that my earlier experience with the A-20 may not have any validity today. I didn't do an in-depth comparison between the Chinese/Japanese versions. For all I Know the Chinese version is the superior of the two. I was simply relying on my limited, singular experience. The reviews here at Amazon are pretty accurate. My only issue is the audible noise in video mode. If it's a quiet setting you WILL hear it. Not a problem for me. I use it mostly for dirtbiking, snowmobiling, and boating.

I have a black one, bought in August 2009. on the bottom it says "Japan" ---look on the bottom, very fine print.

I have no idea. The whole camera was made in Japan, and there is no indication that the lens was made in another place. I suggest you call and ask. Their number in the US: 800-211-7262.

Canon is a global company with branches in the US, Europe, japan and Asia. I cannot tell you exactly which branch in which country makes that particular model though is it is available in US and Europe markets..

Panasonic is a Japanese company. Thus I would assume that most parts for the camera are made in Japan. However, not all the parts are made in Japan. For example, it has a Leica lens, which is made in Germany.

The body and lenses are genuine Canon. The camera body is made in Japan and both lenses are made in Taiwan, so take that for what it is...I think those at both standard manufacturing locations for their products. Hope this answers your question.

Does the SD780 have a 28mm? I can't seem to find this feature on the SD780. (My SD880 with 28mm is Made in Japan.)

Mine is made in Japan. Even though I am an Olympus-camera-body fan, I have a few Panasonic micro 4/3 lenses in my collection due to their IQ (image quality).

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".

It's all made in china-and to a very high standard-I'm a big fan of Japanese quality and I don't see much I think the Japanese would change-I have used an EM-5 for the last 2 years and is a terrific camera-not a minute's trouble-also made in China-The EM-1 feels even better-especially the 12-40mm pro lens-it feels and operates as top quality-I feel very few manufacturers beat the the Japanese head to head. But I'm very impressed with the EM-1 -just operate the zoom ring on the 12-40 lens and you'll be hooked

I have the NS-TSC18 model and it says it's made in China. I don't know which models are actually made in Japan. Hope that helps a bit though.

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.

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!

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.

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.

You can keep trying, or you can order a Japanese-made Canon part for about twice the price (but WAY less than the list price) from Honk Kong. I did, and it was a genuine Canon part; works perfectly. Well worth it!

I just received this camera and it says "Made in Taiwan"....which as every knows is part of China.
