To my knowledge it is the real camera I haven't had any issues with it...the accessories that come with it are mostly junk there are some good ones though.

The lens I have is a Sony SEL50F18. It is made in China. Looking at photos I've taken, it is a very good lens.

As far as I know it is an original. I have 2 of them and they work great. I like this model because the battery sits down in the unit when charging and it has 2 separate light indicators, "orange" while charging, and "Green" when complete. For your question, on the back, it has information about the charger, and at the bottom, it says "Canon Inc. Made in China". It doesn't have any of the misprints in spelling that are found on many of the knock-offs, so my opinion is that it is a Canon product.

Vietnam? Thats funny. Just got my Canon SD970 IS today. Looked for your made in Vietnam printing. Well it says- Camera: Made in Japan! You might want to start shopping somewhere else.

I have no idea. The whole camera was made in Japan, and there is no indication that the lens was made in another place. I suggest you call and ask. Their number in the US: 800-211-7262.

I believe a vast majority..if not ALL Canon digcams are still Made in Japan. My S5 is..down even to the optional accessories like the LAH-DC20 Hood/Lens Adapter to the TC-DC58B 58mm 1.5x Wide Tele Lens...Yep, this is one of my main reasons to get a Canon...not far behind though IMO are precision German optics, i.e. B&W;/Heliopan lenses that I won't mind adding as accessories.But pass on China Made "precision" stuff (not that I hate products from China).p.s. In due fairness, I think the Chinese are the nicest and smartest people I know...(as in my phat and very entrepreneurial Chinese girlfriend from Tianjin).:D I believe a vast majority..if not ALL Canon digcams are still Made in Japan.

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

It is genuine lens, made in Japan and imported. I don't buy expensive things from grey market.

I'm not sure what you mean by "original item", but yes the lens does come with a canon warranty. By the way it is an excellent lens.

As far as I can tell, yes it is. I've used it with no problems, the quality I would expect from Canon.

I don't recall. This camera was a big disappointment. I sent it back and bought a Canon for $40 less.

All lenses are canon it's just the filters and lense adapter that are different. I love the camera and everything with it. It was a amazing deal

It is NEW, Factory-sealed, true Canon production. I've already purchased my first. It's good stuff!

The only original things are, câmera body, the two main lenses, the main battery and charger. The rest is all other brand, but I liked, except the addicional battery and the travel charger. The camera is wonderful!

Hi rfromNJ. It arrived at my house couple of days ago. Yes I can definitely confirm that the lenses are Canon brand. And I can confirm all the comments read before buying it. Everything is very good in the package except the tripod and the bag. But except this it's very good :)...I'm very happy for the moment.

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.
