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. And I remeber the time that Alfred Demming (ignored in his own country - USA) was telling the Japanese how to improve their quality. Demming's methods worked. Eric Stevens |

So was my D70. For that matter, so was my previous Honda. Eric Stevens 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. As long as they don't slip lead into the plastic, I see no problems. It's a metal, though, so Rich might not be so sure. I'm sure the Chinese will figure out a way to contaminate metal too, they've done it for everything else from milk to toys. You still have not answered my question. what do you meant by genetics. Admit the truth for once in your sick life. -- Peter |

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? Those communists have adapted capitalism, banking systems and all. OTOH you are a subversive who seeks to undermine our way of life through the spreading of FUD. -- Peter |

I remember when Japanese-made products were routinely criticised as
junk on exactly the same basis - the same blind prejudice. Same here, and I already made that point. David |

On high-end products, I've often seen diffences between Japanese-made and Chinese made products. Cheap plastic entry-level cameras with variable-quality kit lenses are probably "safe" to be made in China, but watch out when the D3s and 70-200mm f2.8's are beginning to come from China. The D7000 falls somewhere in the middle. The Chinese are already successfully running silicon foundries. Camera are a low-tech joke by comparison. BugBear |

... [] The same will happen with China. Taken as a whole, Chinese cars, motorcycles, cameras, televisions, cell phones etc. may seem like a joke to the likes of Rich, but their quality is rapidly improving and it will only be a matter of time before Japan has difficulty competing, just as Germany did in the 1960s. Agreed. It would likely horrify Rich, but I've just bought a well-regarded telescope, and guess where it was made - China! Cheers, David |

Apologies for repeating it, but it needs emphasising that China is following much the same path as Japan did nearly half a century ago. I remember friends who scoffed at my shiny new Honda motorcycle which, according to them, didn't match up to their British bikes. But my Honda took me everywhere reliably and economically, whereas they needed to pack a set of tools every time they left home and always ended up tinkering with their bikes during a journey. Within a very few years, Japanese bikes took over most of the market and Britain's largest manufacturer, BSA/Triumph, had closed. Aah! The folly of the English motorcycle engineers. I can think of two things, suggested at the time which BSA/Triumph could have done to help their cause in the 60's, and which in their, "but we have been doing it this way since 1932" wisdom they refused to do. Dump the cork faced clutch, and re-engineer/re-design the vertically split crankcase. My cousin's Triumph 500 was always in pieces needing cluch repairs and always leaked oil due to the vertical-split crank case which never sealed properly. My 305 Honda 305 Super Hawk would just run, and had an electric starter! The English motorcycle industry was locked into their post war "Golden age" of the late 40's-early 50's using pre-war 1930's manufacturing technology and design. The Japanese, German and Italian MC factories were newly rebuilt and could introduce innovation in design and manufacturing tech. By 1958 the English manufacturers were behind the curve and once Mike Hailwood won a World 125cc Championship with Mr. Honda's little motorcycles it was all over. ....but I would have loved to have had a Norton Atlas back then, or perhaps a Commando after 1968. In photography, beautifully made Japanese 35mm rangefinder cameras replaced beautifully made German scale focus cameras, probably within a single decade. They were cheaper and just as reliable. Their lenses got better and better as the years went on, eventually far exceeding the quality of all but the very best German cameras. The same will happen with China. Taken as a whole, Chinese cars, motorcycles, cameras, televisions, cell phones etc. may seem like a joke to the likes of Rich, but their quality is rapidly improving and it will only be a matter of time before Japan has difficulty competing, just as Germany did in the 1960s. ....and then the Chinese will outsource manufacturing to the countries it owns, the USA, & the U.K., the Canadians only built cheesy GM knock-offs and had some Levi production before that all moved to Guatamala & Mexico, so Rich and his racially/ethnically pure offspring should be safe. ;-) -- Regards, Savageduck |
