Japan or Taiwan

[Can-eye]

My Question: I notice on some cannon Cameras they are made in Japan and I have seen some made in Taiwan are they built the same (Parts) or is Made in Japan better? Some on the QVC say made in Taiwan.

Thanks

You'll here two different arguments.

1: THe cameras are subject to the exact same quality control requirements, so it doesn't matter
2: Things made in Japan are obviously better.

To be honest, the reason the second argument exists is that most of the higher end products are made in japan, though to the same standards.
