The horror of plastics
Read the first two posts in this thread. Imagine a camera body
compressed from hand pressure? The idea is like figernails on a blackboard. How can manfacturers allow this? If the plastic is going to have to be made so thick to withstand compression that is't "too" thick and results in poor ergonomics, the logical thing to do is USE METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...hread=16569110 |

Unless you're using a $10k camera and a $5k lens, your equipment has inherent compromises too. Or do you have a 20 MP camera with a titanium body and unobtanium lenses? |

I'll take plastic any day - for the same reason I prefer it on my cameras - it's a lot more impact resistant, and does a far better job of protecting what's inside it. .... but you knew that already. |

Move up in price point and they do. If you expect a metal camera body in a $600 "kit", you're dreaming. -- Stacey |

The horror of plastics
Rich,
It's strange that such companies as Glock use plastic on hand guns and you deem it too "soft" for a camera... This material can be made to be tougher than metal, so I'm told. Cheers, Marcel |
