Is this camera made in Japan?

Mine says assembled in the Phillipines. I would guess that means parts come from someplace else (probably China, maybe Japan), but no it does not say Made in Japan. That being said, I have been thrilled with the performance after some nice camping trips to Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands, Colorado, etc. (E.g. I've been using it, in various weather and conditions, without a hitch).

As printed on the camera's box, parts come from various places. The camera is assembled in the Philippines. the 18-135 lens that came with my camera, and additional lenses which I have purchased, were assembled in Vietnam.

Pentax is built in Japan under license of Ricoh imaging Co. Ltd., which means that it is manufactured there but can be assembled in U.K., Germany, America, Canada, and yes, even China. Pentax lens's are unapproachable in quality and cost. I've had a Pentax film camera since 1960 and the new one I bought which is digital is equal in quality build and optics. If you buy, be sure and understand the manual from cover to cover. This camera is not built for a novice. Any camera you buy is only as good as the optics. Consider carefully what lenses you buy. This one will be a sure asset if your a serious photographer. Pentax is built in Japan under license of Ricoh imaging Co.

The one I ordered from Amazon is made in Japan. However, the 14-42 mm kit lens and the battery are made in China.

Mine also says "made in china". However, it is a GREAT camera with more features that I will probably never use.

Has anyone looked at the bottom of the camera ? it says designed by Olympus Tokyo made in china

YES. On the back of the unit itself, left-hand side, top half, it is stated quite clearly that the SONY ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM is "Made In Japan."

Stamped on the bottom of the camera it says " Made in Japan" and "Fabrique au Japan" (which is French for made in Japan).

No, of course not. You will only find made in Japan in super high price tagged items like high end cameras. It is made in China. Country of origin should be mandatory in product description in the copy for every item. The power of living group s writing against consumers' interests.

I don't see anything in English that says made in Japan. Except for some English instructions in a small booklet, everything else on the box and inside is written in what I believe to be Japanese.

I bought mine in November 17, and it made the long trip from USA to Peru, i bought it in NYC, happily, the camera says : made in Japan, i trust Japanese´s quality control, and i agree with the comment of NLee the ingineer dic/28,Canon has a very good reputation and they always are supervising the productions of their products wherever it made, but if i have to choose, Japan of course!

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?
