Is this the same model as imported to U.S.; and is the manual and the camera menu in English?

I no longer own the camera, so I can't answer with certainty, but I believe everything was in English.

Not sure about importing but my manual and menu is in English. Amazing cameras these foveons.

Yes. Manual and camera are the U.S. model, unless you are ordering it in directly from a Japanese retailer. All of the Amazon U.S. based retailers will sell you the U.S. version of the camera.

yes. The only draw back is that the language is defaulted to Chinese. Before you do anything download the US pdf manual and change the language. its a very cool camera.

I bought my Camera to take to Mozambique at a gift. The simple manual that came with it was in English, French and German. I got on the Web, entered the Camera model and asked to a Portuguese Manual. I was delighted to be able to download a very complete Portuguese manual with more information than can in my English Manual.

I did not do anything special. Of course the manual only gives a hint.Send the manual through Google Translate helps a bit.I have used it for more about 6 months or so without problems.The cam has lots of features that can be accessed via the menu. Two issues: The manual is cryptic but one can experiment to figure it out.The record file format is mov which may work well for some users but I would prefer a different format.

Hello.View of the camera is a multi-language support.Manual is Japanese.Manual can be replaced.Ｉ need to ask a Nikon there is a stock of English.In that case, it is necessary to send to Nikon a Japanese manual.So, the shipment of the product is delayed.Or, you can download from the website.It seems there is still no current S6600.https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13948Thank you.

I got a South American model by accident. Oh well, no problem as long as I have problems. As for the menus, there is a choice for Japanese in the Language list. However, all the camera buttons are marked in Roman characters like AF, etc. As for an instruction manual, I had to download an English version from the Panasonic web site. I am guessing you could download a Japanese version from there also. I like the camera a lot. It is the perfect travel companion. I will get a 3rd party flash for it as the Panasonic one is too expensive. The pop up flash is too limited (too slow and too much redeye) as I take a lot of indoor shots.

The Instructions are in German, but don't let that stop you from buying the model.I have it and it's a great one, just go carefully with the pictures on the instructions and you won't have much of a problem.

do a google search for the manual as a PDF ... it's the same one that came with the camera

Yes, that's correct, everything will be in Japanese. I sent mine back, then figured out that you can find the same camera in English, but it's the DMC-ZS30. You might have to pay more for it, but it's the exact same camera.

The manual and the camera itself are in Chinese. I have yet to figure out much on it.

Its the Japanese market version but exactly as the same model in the USA. All printing on the camera, and the manual was in English. I was VERY happy. It came new and in the box.

The one I got is exactly the same as the one that came with the camera (FZ-200). They both say "Made in China" in English and in French, but there are no Chinese characters on it.

I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month. I should have contacted the seller and demand to know before I bought (but didn't think of it). The printed manual is all in Japanese, but the camera menus are in English and the English manual is online. The camera is great, so far, producing fabulous shots with all the control I needed. Don't like having to remove the battery to recharge, fear something might break, but so far OK. Yes it ships immediately, but doesn't arrive for >week since it ships from Japan. Seems like these details should be required by Amazon before listing. I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month.

The camera itself is made in Japan. You'll find your model no. on the bottom for registration along with the printed "Made in Japan".

Good luck! I had the same problem and basically stumbled through the Chinese menu on the camera to get the the English menu. Definitely a big problem with this product.

My screen is in English and the manual is foreign. You can download a free manual in English from the Olympus site. Hope that helps.
