Nikon moves production of upcoming Nikon N1622 camera from China to Thailand

A new Nikon N1622 camera with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth was registered with the Indonesian Communications Agency POSTEL back in April last year. The camera was supposed to be produced in China, but a few months later Nikon closed their camera plant in China.
