DSLR cam made in JAPAN !!! Help

i bought my 500d in salam and it's made in japan. but my canon lenses (the kit lens that came with it and the walkaround lens i bought in the manila gray market) are made in taiwan. my flash is made in china.

i'm not sure if they have the same manufacturing strategy everywhere in the world, but a sales clerk in a mall back home said specific product lines are made in canon factories worldwide. like the lower end powershot p&s line would be made in malaysia, while the higher end powershot line model something something and above, plus all ixus models are made in japan. or vice versa, i don't really remember. maybe all dslr bodies are made in japan and the taiwan factory does the lenses?

but i understand your concern. if it's made in japan, it gives the impression that it is of better manufacturing quality.

Thanks! I was satisfied with its performance and brand. Doesn't matter where it's made of?

Check under the camera body its written there where the camera is made.

I bought 500D from Salam and not sure if that's made in Japan. Check with Salam.

i dont know.. i kinda like 500D and products of Japan r really something :)

Why you prefer 500D? and made in Japan?

Try Salam Stores Westbay.
