Canon VS Nikon

Yup, made in Japan with internal camera assemblies like components, flex cables, PCB's, plastics that are made in china, taiwan or elsewhere.
Does the origin of made really matters? A made in china 50mm f1.8D might last even longer than a made in japan 28-70 f2.8ED.
i wont bother anyway since equipment is just a tool to get you where u want faster..
I wun mind where the camera is made of, if i mind that Nikon is made in thailand, i will go for Canon a long time ago...
not sure if someone has posted it. but here's a link to a 550D and D90 side by side comparison http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/Canon-Rebel-T2i-EOS-550D-Compared-to-Nikon-D90.shtml
japan will be the headquarters...design/research centre...procurement office... mass pro will definitely not be in japan anymore due to the high overheads. So are many companies in Sg.
I know for some crucial parts, Japan still wana do it themselves. But only in relatively smaller quantities.

I wonder if we'll see a China-branded DSLR manufacturer try to enter the market in the near future...
I thot of that before..but will you buy?:bsmilie:
China is good at buying brands, not building. They can't build a car maker like GM, but they can definitely buy one. So now the question is, can they buy over Leica:sweatsm:
they would have to buy over an existing company. i think Lenovo (chinese-owned?) bought over IBM personal computers right?
But for cameras you have the issue of lenses and other accessories.
Compatability is a huge issue.
They'll have to build a brand from scratch, which is probably hard... hence the absence of a Chinese DSLR brand even today...
[oh gosh... maybe there already IS one, just that I'm unaware! :bsmilie:]

Thing is, the local Chinese are so hung up about brands in photography that they themselves will not buy a Chinese branded DSLR.
They are a lot more information savvy than the average Singaporean. You seldom see a newbie in China get their carrot head chopped like the newbies in Singapore. They know the pricing even before they step into the camera malls. And they do a hell lot of research before they buy a camera. And if you've seen the camera malls there, you will understand what is "volume" sales.
Yup. Lenovo is Chinese brand. And yup they bought over the PC division, but US law dictates they cannot sell the server division to Lenovo.
None la bro. But I have been wishing we get a YongNuo DSLR soon... and I bet it will be Nikon F mount.
:bsmilie:
you mean this?
I know some pure chinese friends who swear by Japanese branded photography system.. asked about China made? They said they would turn out sh**.:sweatsm:
btw, they are rather brand conscious...not blind to just buy anything made in CN.
Now THIS ONE you can gaffer up like crazy (add nonya or cinamon flavor for added pleasure! :bsmilie
with MIC gaffer tapes!...
