Default Cameras USA

To my knowledge, no cameras (digital or otherwise) are currently made in
the USA. Does anybody think that situation will change, anytime soon?
(Or, in the more distant future?)

Nope! The currently manufactured in the USA camera is found less in the wild
than Sasquatch. Howevever, I believe the one piece of USA produced camera
accessory is the USA division (of whichever camera manufacturer) warranty.

Consider that the Dutch own the whithered remains of Polaroid, Kodak had the
plug pulled from the steam engine providing pseudo life support. It is
rumored that Argus lives on in a nightmare of the living dead somewhere in
Illinois. Graflex was bought by Singer, and all its tooling assets sold off
to some inscrutable Japanese corporation, which was crushed by the dead
weight of their new acquisition.

....but fear not. In the wilds of Irvine, California you will find “Red
Digital Cinema Camera Company”, and they certainly have the potential to
produce a purely photographic stills camera, if they ever wanted to go down
that road.

IMVHO, I suspect it's to do with semiconductor production and (by
extension) the labour force. Once that's nailed end product creation is
relatively trivial.

It's the single biggest reason for the dire economic state of Russia.
And while the service and financial sectors continue to prop up large
parts of the G22 (including the USA and UK) the situation is unlikely to
change without state intervention.

Consumer cameras will be profitable to make in the US at about the same
time as Macbooks and iPhones... Heavy pro gear? When that market are
ready for new players...

Certain astronomical CCD cameras are made in the USA.
