I believe that most of Canons high end equipment is made in Japan. And that's not a bad thing. Japanese photo equipment is a very well made and I've had no complaints with my equipment for 40 + years.

A camera store near me says this camera is manufactured in Japan. I called canon to see if there were manufacturing delays due to the earthquake and they said "NO Comment..." Retailers do seem to be selling it but so far none of the big big retailers seem to have it in stock.Edit: One of the big retailers just got it in

I bought this lens. I love it. It is made by Canon. I believe the import means it comes from outside the US.

I have the Vixia HF M500 and it works great with the IRD89. Have a great one. Max

R Yako, HI!! Did you ever find out if this battery would work with the M41? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!!

You should be able to. I use it with a Canon Vixia HF R500. As long as it has an external microphone jack. You may or may not need an adapter, I am not familiar with your model....but it should work.

I was just at the store today looking at the TM90 and the Canon M41, hard to choose between the two! Johnny, do you miss having a viewfinder? And, the green tint scares me...I've read that in a lot of reviews.

Sorry I took so long to answer! I finally found it on the ring on the back of the lens. Mine reads made in Thailand & the box also reads Thailand! Great lens!! Love mine! Good luck!

how could you recognize that your canon camera is made in Japan and not in somewhere else?

I'm in the process of buying a Vixia HF-G20, if that's what you meant by hg20. I was just told by Chris at the Canon Support team that the WL-D89 would work with it. I'm still trying to get confirmation on that from a second source though.

Could you tell me if the place of origin has anything to do with whether or not Canon will honor the warranty? I was told by a vendor that if a canon camcorder was a "Japanese" model, Canon would not honor the warranty, and that if it was a US camcorder, they would. Is that true and how can you tell if the camcorder you buy is one or the other?

It used to say February on the Canon website until they changed it to "Spring." I too am waiting on this camera. Hopefully it will be released at the end of Feb., but if I were you once March rolls around (and REALLLY REALLY need HD video of the event), I'd go ahead and get the HF100 so you can capture your girl's birthday. The cheapest I found it on the net is $375 from Digital Future.Very tempted to get the HF100, but I'm trying real hard to hold out for the HF S100.

I am not sure on that, sorry. You can try GOOGLE or the Canon Website to be sure.

Have you made a decision? I'm in the same boat. Got a bunch of Sony DVs but the camera is huge. Time to move to HD. I like the Canon HF M40 because its got alot of the same optics as the G10 at half the price. The Pan has a much better range on the wide end, so I'm torn. Not sure if the Pan features are as good as the Canon otherwise.

Canon specifies the Legria HF M 406 filter size as 43mm which corresponds to the Digital Concepts lens size. The only caveat I can see is whether the lens will exhibit any vignetting with the camera's optical zoom. That's something that only be determined after the lens is mounted.

If this model of the Vixia uses the Canon BP-709 battery pack then most likely yes. My Vixia HF R300 uses the 709 battery pack and this battery works flawlessly in it. It gives you a capacity reading and lasts for about 90 minutes.
