I might add that her Nikon camera was made in Thailand as most Nikon's are today~!!

Nikon's factory in Thailand is located about 100 km. north of Bangkok. Ten years ago Thailand was chosen as the factory site because of its perceived political stability, low energy prices, favorable tax laws and that Thai workers are loyal, skilled, and take pride in their work which they did for relatively low wages. The factory has now been in operation for 8 years and the quality is first class. Of the 1100 employees only 13 are Japanese.

...and this news is a few years old. Even the Flagship D3 Camera and many lenses are now made in Thailand
