I'm a little surprised myself, seeing as all the other Canon Powershots I've purchased previously were all Made in Japan. I suppose for the price I can't complain too much, and it still seems to take decent shots.

I just received the gold and it says it's Made in China. Extremely disappointed, as I had read that this was Made in Japan.

I recently bought the black model here as well and it says China in extremely small print on the bottom. I'm not surprised.

I went to pick mine up after satisfying myself that they were indeed made in Japan. My experience with my old Canon A-20 Powershot convinced me there's a difference. I'd just purchased it (2002 ?) and the next week they introduced the A-40 which offered video as well. Since I was still inside my 30 day return window I picked up the A-40 and compared the two in detail for a couple of weeks. The A-20 was made in Japan and the A-40 was made in Malaysia, or Singapore, or Myanmar. I can't remember exactly. Big difference! Fit and finish was superb on the Japanese version. Poor on the other. In one of the zoom steps I came to see an out-of-focus area where the Japanese version was consistently sharp. I returned the A-40 and kept the A-20. Still works great. Now the 780. I went to Best-Buy to pick it up and at the last second I decided I'd better verify that it was Japanese too. Nope, it was Chinese. I explained my concerns to the checker and requested to examine their inventory for the Japanese version I wanted. Fortunately, I was in luck. There was only one amongst several Chinese examples. I snapped it up and it's been just wonderful. To be completely fair and honest I must confess that my earlier experience with the A-20 may not have any validity today. I didn't do an in-depth comparison between the Chinese/Japanese versions. For all I Know the Chinese version is the superior of the two. I was simply relying on my limited, singular experience. The reviews here at Amazon are pretty accurate. My only issue is the audible noise in video mode. If it's a quiet setting you WILL hear it. Not a problem for me. I use it mostly for dirtbiking, snowmobiling, and boating.

Hi, it is made in china. It worked fine for me.... I'm an amateur photographer but it worked quite fine. It is VR, ED, and all what they claim.

These are now made in China but if you get lucky some older stock are still made in Japan. There are several reviews about the difference and it's about half and half about the picture quality of the Chinese made model. Who knows you might get lucky. Cheers.

Made in Japan. For some reason mine is light gray. Don't let that get in you way. Good lens and most of my lens are from amazon. Had no problems. I do read the review and have made my decision that way.

My FZ200 says "Made In Japan" on the bottom. It continues to be an excellent camera. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Assembled in Thailand. Very little is actually made in Japan anymore...kind of like the USA. Doesn't mean inferior quality, though! Designs, manufacturing process, quality control are Nikon Japan, which has way too long a history of top product quality to risk it at all. Quality of my D5300 is fantastic!

Currently they only sell this in Japan..... They will start selling this camera in the states (or your country) in 2014.if you buy this item from this seller now, they ship you directly from Japan....thats why they say import model.i bought it from them months ago, fast ship and item as is described.

No the packaging will state Japan but the actual cameras are made in Indonesia. Sad but true.

Anonymous is right, the SD1100is is being phased out because the SD1200is is replacing it. Don't get me wrong the 1100is is a great camera, I've had mine since October of last year and I love it, zero problems. The pros of the SD1200is are that it's cheap and takes great pictures. A bit more responsive than the 1100is. However, one con is that it's made in China, the 1100is was made in Japan. Forget about the 770, consider the 780, which is the newer model. Pros: very small, comes in many colors (4), tough metal body, made in Japan, and takes very nice pics and decent movie clips. Don't really know much about the 990 though. It is much bigger than the 1100, 1200, 770 and 780. What are you looking for in a point and shoot? Might help narrow down the choice for you. Hope this helps.

I do not know ? I think it is Japan. They have manufacturing there. There is a New York office, BUT, they do not make lenses there, just the USA office.

I no longer recall where it is "made". I DO recall that the SWD ones is a razor sharp, fast, quick focussing, good handling lens. Country of manufacture is not directly related to quality, if the factories are run by foreign nationals which they usually are. The pricier items sometimes bear "made in Japan" labels, but that is as much marketing than a real indication of country-derived quality. As far back as the eighties when I sold video recorders, a quick lid removal of a top-line one that was "made in Japan", revealed that VERY few of the internal components were actually made in Japan. If you are after a superb lens in that FL range, you will NOT be disappointed as long as it is a SWD model. It focusses properly on the EM-1 as well, so if it suits you, dive in you will NOT regret it..

The SD 940 I purchased new from Amazon in March 2010 was made in Japan. By Dec 2010 the SD 940 (from the members only warehouse store) sold with case and memory card was made in China. I also have SD 780 bought new from Amazon in July 2009; made in Japan. Both cameras, treated like they fine crystal, produce amazing photos.
