You try it, Bill. Camera manufacturers don't like to talk about
where their cameras are made. It's rarely included in their cameara
pages.
I searched extensively for a post on another thread. Never got
a cmplete answer. Hence this thread.

No company can manufacture anything in China without PRC goverment's approval.
Often it will require technology transfer or tell the foreign company who it must partner with.
It may be required to buy Chinese-made equipment and raw materials or to hire Chinese managers.
No foreigner has the final say on anything in China.

If location doesn't matter, Jerry, why don't you build your next factory in Afghanistan?
Off-shoring manufacturing is a giant headache. Nobody would do it except to get cheaper labor.
Cheaper labor rarely is better labor. (If you don't believe that, next time you need a lawyer, hire
the cheapest one you can find and see how it works out.)

Curious about what? The OP might just as well ask, "has anyone bought a camera with a primarily black body" Or "Has any one been outdoors in a place where the air has oxygen?"
Really--are all camera made in Japan? Or most of them?
How do you know? Information about where assembly is done is hard to find on-line.
Carmera company web pages rarely mention it.
According to the sources I could find, very few camera models are assembled in Japan.
So it's rather like asking, "anybody bought a bought a car made in Germany lately?
My old VW was made in Brazil.

On top of which, you've got drug testing by employers.
But manditory testing is only imposed on blue collar wrokers---it doesn't matter if executives
are stoned, apparently.
'And there are very few machine shops left in the USA. To get my diesel stationary engine rebuilt,
I had to haul it 400 miles.
Consumerism is about buying stuff, then throwing it away and buying more stuff. Consumers
don't know how to do anything except consume.

You ever try to find clothes or shoes made in the USA?
Even top brand clothing are all mostly made in foreign countries now.
Top of the line shoes like Nike, Adidas, and others are all made in China.
Go into a store like J.C. Penny or Macy's and try to find something made in the USA.
You are not going to have much luck in that endeavor.

It's been that way for a long time. No news there. No country produces everything they use and there's no use crying over it. We still are the world's top producing nation, but not in most consumer products. Want the world's finest locomotives, which many countries, including China, do? Then you go to EMD or GE. Diesel engines? Cummins produces more then anyone else. The Chinese military and Russia's Kamaz trucks use them extensively. Wind turbines? GE. Steam turbines and generators? GE again. Tunnel boring machines? Robbins is arguably the world's best. They bored the Chunnel and countless other projects wordwide. Construction equipment? No one tops Caterpillar. Lubricants, especially specialized and industrial? Mobil is the world leader. Agricultural products? Our farmers feed a good part of the world. I could go on and on but the point is that people bitch that we don't build or export anything. The fact is that US products are in demand all over the world but you will never know that if all you look at is the label on your t-shirt or camera.

The sad thing is I am now old enough to remember (just) when "Made in Japan" was a pejorative!

I look for this information often and I do find out quite a bit but I do agree with you the "where it's made" question is a difficult one to find answer.
The fact is when I came to the store (not a camera store) the salesman kept talking to me about all the features of the machines he tried to sell me. He seemed to know everything about it until I asked him where it was made. He didn't have the answer and looked at me funny as if he wondered why I want to know.

There are 2 ways to adhere to the specs.
First is to make products that almost all of them are within specs.
Second is to make a lot of products but throw away a lot of them that do not meet the specs.
The first case is more desirable I mean in the customer point of view.

All of which should be covered in the specs and the contract. It is like needing a contract for any job.

I don't think the contract specify how many bad ones you can make.
