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?) John --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

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. http://www.red.com -- Regards, Savageduck |

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. -- Cheers, Rob |

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... -- teleportation kills http://tinyurl.com/androidphotography |
