That ain't gonna happen in my life time or my children's... So I continue to buy Canon. So many products sold in the U.S. has Made in China label (enough for someone to write a NY Times best seller book about it) that I'm afraid the U.S. is going to lose their ability and the knowledge to make things at this rate of China-dependency.... Even China is becoming too expensive to manufacture some items - looked underneath the body of a Nikon D60 (a friend's) and it was made in Thailand.

Oh, and I'm British, lived all across Europe, now live in Japan with a Japanese wife, so "no" - Made in the USA has zero % to do with my buying decisions....BUT....the country stamp has so little to do with it, these days IMO....just think about it for a moment: consider where the initial ideas/technology/blueprints/expertise to build/funding/etc., come from.
