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.

I don't see any "RichA" posts on my computer since I created a rule
to delete
any messages from "RichA" and similar pests using Windows XP.

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.
Even to ****wits like you.

I spend 1/2 the year in PRC. 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...

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.
