Olympus GOES CHEAP. E-3, the flagship, MADE IN CHINA, CHINA!!!!
NO other camera company makes their higher end product there, they are
all still made in Japan. Olympus is really treading a thin line with this. |

You're too stupid to even remember what you wrote. I quote your exact words: "NO other camera company makes their higher end product there, they are all still made in Japan." Thailand is NOT JAPAN.

It is as capitalist as any country you wish to name, or more so. The government is another thing, but Deng Xiaoping made sure it would not interfere with wealth aquisition. You simply would not believe cities like Shanghai. The growth and industry are amazing. Whether they can keep it up is another matter of course, but the change in the last 20 years strains the imagination, and it is not over yet. It is a smart move on Olympus' part. You might notice that there is now extremely good high tech stuff coming out of PRC, especially in the field of electronics. Hard drives, graphics cards, memory, chips...We just bought a $20,000 professional Fujinon video lens. Made in China. Works great. You only have to look at traditional Chinese arts and crafts to see that these people are prodigiously talented and able when the circumstances are favorable. If Olympus can stay on top of the QC issue they will kill the competition. Stay tuned for more and more high end photo equipment coming out of PRC... Toby |

The idea of "made in China" isn't what it used to be. Can they make CRAP? Sure they can, But they will make anything people want and TO THE SPECIFICATIONS they are asked to make it. If you want a lens made, and hand-ground to some infinitesimal fraction of perfection, that's what they'll do for you... if you want a shoddy toy that falls apart before the next holiday season, they can do that too. Implying "communist china" is equal to "low quality" is a non sequitur at best. James, Port Orchard. |
