There is nothing wrong with 'Made in Thailand', and the Nikon D200 is indeed
very well made in Thailand.

I also find my 'Made in Thailand' Mercedes-Benz better built than my German
built one.  Better finished and more reliable.  Better than my previous
South African built one for sure.

Interestingly, when I was at the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart last time,
most production line workers I met were not German :-)

Oh, I almost forgot to mention several Leica items are now made in China.
Nothing wrong with that, as far as I am concerned.
