Does Pentax Optio T10 "Made in China" good?

I bought this camera in Korea, some people say "Made in China" products are not effect on the quality, however, In Vietnam, "Made In China" is terrible products, if you have plan to give a present to you boss or your girl friend, please don't give Made in China products, because it is a contempt.

Hi Khoi,

I understand the aversion to the "Made in China" tag. For years here in the US we had a similar feeling toward it--that things made in China were cheap and flimsy. However, as I'm sure you know, in recent years China's industrial sector has made huge leaps in technology and quality. Most major manufacturers have at least a few factories in China, and as technology has improved the gaps between factories in different countries have been cut to almost nothing. These days there is generally little difference between a camera made in China or Korea or Japan. I'd say that you shouldn't let the T10's "Made in China" tag dissuade you from using it. I suppose the best test is to see how it performs for you, since you bought it already. :)

Good luck!

Sorry to say this, but Ben Keough's answer is NOT the best.

Aside from any quality issues with the "Made in China" tag, there is a MORAL issue regarding anything made in China. Many of the products from China are made by forced labor, including prisoners of conscience. Hence the cheap prices. The Communist Chinese government invaded Tibet in 1959 and has ruthlessly abused human rights in Tibet as well as in China.

I realize that it's hard to find products that are not made in China, but in many cases there are alternatives which are competitively priced. So please, avoid Chinese products as much as you can.

Remember, you can do your small part to support human rights by choosing not to buy "Made in China" products.

What century is Maya living in?

Forced labour - including prisoners of conscience? Where is this information comming from...American web sites full of anti communist propaganda?

Maya...come to China and see just how free it is, little crime, rape, murder etc, nothing like the violent environment of the US.

China is cheaper to manufacture goods because the people simply earn less and everything is ten time cheaper to buy than anywhere else...call than 'cheap' labour?

(I've liven in China 20 years and see nothing like you suggest)
