My D80 of four years was made in Thailand....

So was my D70.

For that matter, so was my previous Honda.

Has Nikon in fact been "trying to keep production out of the land of
Mao?" And if so, why?


Because their quality control is lacking? I don't care if the Japanese
camp-out in the factories, you don't get the same result as Made in
Japan.

Can you tell the difference between an image produced by a lens/body
made in China vs. made in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, or The
Philippines, vs. made in Japan?

Just from the photo, not knowing beforehand where the camera/lens was
made?

If so please post two images, one from a Japanese-made rig and one from
a Chinese-made rig, stripped of exif data, so we can see the wisdom of
your vision.

Otherwise you are just blowing smoke.

You obviously do not remember when "Made in Japan" was a warning of a
bad-quality rip-off. Now it seems you revere such items.... Times
change.

Are you relying on the URL for that information

Good point, as I suspect diytrade is not the most accurate and up to
date source for this kind of information. Anyway, who cares?

The prejudiced communistic troll is simply trying to stir up
something.


And yet whose the one sticking up for the commie Chinese?

Why don't you answer my question and explain what you meant?

My God, Rich, that's horrible!! Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
Those greedy Japanese! Next they'll be trying to **sell** those cameras to the
Chinese! Where will it all end? With the survival of Civilization so clearly
at stake, what can the rabble do to help? We'll boycott Nikon, of course, but
how much good will that do? Alackaday!

You can probably figure it out for yourself if you break down the terms he
uses. Take "the commie Chinese", for example. That's Andersonian jargon for
"the most ruthlessly capitalistic nation on earth".

When I was in Cuba on a government-sponsored visit 20-some years ago
one of the tour guides referred to Americans as "you running dog
capitalistic warmongers". It was such an over-the-top comment to make
on a tour bus full of Americans that I thought she was joking, but she
wasn't.

"Running dog", BTW, is a translation of the pejorative Chinese term
meaning lackey.

I'm a little older, so I remember when Japanese products *were* mostly junk.
But when they started to recover from WWII and decided to concentrate on
high-end products, the Japanese improved very quickly. Only the terminally
gullible will imagine that the Chinese, who include some of the smartest,
hardest working people on earth, can't do the same. If Japanese companies want
to do business with the Chinese (and who wouldn't?), they'd damn well better
have plants in China - because their inevitable Chinese competitors surely
will.
