Wat is the diff. betwin nikon D40 made in thailnd and made in japan? Like the body the lens etc...

Answer 1

a Nikon D40, is a Nikon D40. The only difference is where it was put together. Nikon has very High production standards. Here's a Tour of the Thailand  plant from a few years back:

The D40,N65, D50, & D70, N65, N80, N90, N75, N55, D70s, D80, current D80, and D200 bodies as well as the AF28-80, AF28-100, AFS24-85, ED 28-200mm, 18-70mm, & 18-200mm VR lenses are made there as well.

Some shady camera stores will try to make an extra buck by telling you that Japanese cameras have higher production standards the Thailand and mark the price up on the Japanese model. If they tell you this, I would take your business elsewhere. The online stores don't even mention where it was made because it just doesn't matter at all.

Hope this helps.
