Nikon quality made in China?
I bought a Nikon Coolpix S8000 yesterday and I just saw that the box that says Made in China: (Is the same quality as those made in Japan? And how I can know if it is false? Thanks in advance:)
well, I'm using this website. http://japanforeclose.blogspot.com/ well, I know a lot of japan. As for your question, it is common that things are actually Japanese product made in China. but as they investigate on the basis of Standard Japanese. well, no problem.
