Panasonic GH3 Made In China, Am I Being Old Fashioned To Be Disappointed ?

…remember how my world (Austrralia and the rest of the Anglophone world) talked of the Japanese as crummy copyists and the masters of turning good stuff into junk without an original thought in their heads -- despite a plethora of contrary evidence.

Made in Japan was a label to be eschewed back then.

Then Made in Taiwan, then Made in China, then ...

You realize the HD of your computer is almost certainly made in Thailand. When there were floods in Thailand there was a worldwide shortage of HDs. How did Thailand become the HD manufacturing capital of the world?

It just goes round and round.

Cheers, geoff
