My analogue Ricoh GR was made in Taiwan and now its digital
successor
Is from China - the world's manufacturing axis has shifted

Joseph,
I also prefer to buy items made in Japan or Europe. But the reality of
the modern world is that most electronic things (and indeed many other
manufactured products) are made or assembled in China and other low-cost
locations. The Ricoh GR Digital I just bought is also made in China, as
I am sure is a large portion of the innards of the computer on which I
am writing this message.
