Pretty cool to see the process behind our digital film. Music is lame though, I recommend muting the audio and listening to something else.

->> You guys making the comments about it being Asia or not are missing the point.
I thought it was a very interesting video and I'm happy to see the quality care that goes into memory cards. Even though this is a Lexar Commercial, I'm sure Sandisk put the same care in its memory cards.
I'd like to see a similar video on how they make light sensitive film might be pretty interesting but a very dark video.I guess we would be looking at machines since they can't expose the film.
.......They did say half way through that they are shipped to China for assembly.

| ->> Very interesting....something we now take for granted to do our jobs, we get to see how it is made from soup to nuts. Does Nikon have a similar video on a camera's birth? |
