You've got to get your 'plastic' obsession under control, 'cause it sure
has control over you.

Rich, when you croak, they'll probably bury you in a plastic coffin!

Don't say that! Coffins must be wood or cardboard so they (and the
body) biodegrade. Plastic, despite all its flaws, has greater
resistance to corrosion than many metals, it tends to stick around, to
the detriment of environments everywhere. Despite this, and the
rising cost of oil, plastic continues to be used more and more.

Nonsense. Whether in a plastic coffin or not, bodies decompose,
as they do when coffins are placed within concrete, plastic or metal
burial vaults.

However, no coffin will preserve the body, regardless of whether it
is a wooden or metal coffin, a sealed casket, or if the deceased was
embalmed beforehand.
. . .
Coffins are made of many materials, including steel, various types
of wood, and other materials such as fiberglass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffin


Vaults are made of either concrete, plastic or metal. Unlike a
burial liner, which only covers the top and sides of the coffin,
a vault completely encloses a coffin.
. . .
Contrary to popular belief, regardless of whether or not the body
is embalmed, a vault will not prevent decomposition of the body.

If someone invents a truly biodegradable form of plastic that doesn't
cost a fortune, they will end up the richest person on the planet.

There are many biodegradable plastics. They tend to be more
expensive, but what's your definition of "cost a fortune"? 1000x?
100x? 10x? Here's one that's only 2x the cost and it only took a
minute or so to locate it using Google :

Currently, the principal markets for biodegradable plastics are in
Europe, particularly Germany, where environmental regulations
favor degradable products. The PHA copolymer marketed there
has been produced commercially under the brand name Biopol
for almost 20 years, initially by Zeneca (a subsidiary of Imperial
Chemical Industries) and now by Monsanto after its purchase of
Zeneca Bioproducts. This PHA product is produced by a bacterium
through a controlled fermentation, similar to the process used in
our laboratory. The PHA can then be processed using conventional
equipment by extrusion, injection molding, and fiber spinning. The
first major product, a biodegradable shampoo bottle, has been
marketed in Europe, although the plastics can be used for many
applications including food packaging. However, because Biopol
resin prices are ranging close to double the target cost, the
current market for Biopol remains rather limited.

PLASTIC!!!!

But you provide evidence that you're still wrong.

Body material Magnesium Alloy chassis, high grade plastic exterior

So the body is magnesium and the exterior is plastic.

That's still a magnesium body.

Doesn't matter much, it's noisy, just like the Canon 1DsMkIII.

Just like you insisted that the body is made of plastic.

Give it up. You're a clown and it's become pretty obvious to
everybody.

Sony $2999.99


REALITY CHECK, It's a SONY!!!

Working pros aren't going to sell off their huge investments in Pro Nikon
and Canon gear to buy a Sony!

Regardless of what all the measurbators think. There isn't that much of a
job from 18 mp to 25

Sony = overpriced rebadged Minolta lenses, and a few grossly overpriced
Zeiss lenses.

MUST BE WOOD or CARDBOARD??? Says who? Modern caskets can be wood, steel,
copper, bronze ... and fibreglas (plastic)!

Once again RichA opens his mouth before putting his brain in gear.

Don't bank on it; just remember what the Beta-cam did to/for the pro video
world...

Might take some time, though.

Sony was a big player in the TV/Video ENG world, they aren't in the still
image world. In the end Beta died. The only win Sony had in my memory is
Blu-Ray.
