Is there or has there ever been a camera that was made 100% here in the USA? I thought Polaroid back in the day, but another photographer told me those were made in China.
Although let's be honest, there's no such thing as an electrical product that's entirely made in one country nowadays. At the very least, there'll be some rare metal involved that can only be mined in the Central African Republic or something.
I remembered reading about this on another board I belong too. Here is a list that someone had put together that is pretty detailed. Note: USA isn't on this list.
Nikon:
- Japan: all FX format bodies (full frame)
- Thailand: all DX format bodies (crop frame), most DX lenses, some Coolpix compacts, camera internals (e.g. optics, motors)
- China/Indonesia: some Coolpix cameras and some low-end lenses

Canon:
- Japan: Digital cameras, EF lenses, Parts for digital cameras and others
- China: Digital cameras
- Malaysia: Digital cameras, EF lenses
- Taiwan: Digital cameras, EF lenses
