Like Nikon, on the box of my wife's D500 I noticed "Made in Thailand". I hope that Canon at least will stick with Japan for the more expensive gear, to keep its high quality standards. We had much more issues, including expensive repair, with our Nikon (and Sigma) than with our Canon gear. Doing birding and other wildlife, we really find out the hard way how rugged gear is, and here Canon's pro and semipro gear, cameras & lenses, still shine (my vintage, now 27 years old EF 500mm f/4.5 still works perfectly). For Sony, reaching Nikon's quality level of today is okay :devilish:
