Creative language used to sell plastic bodied cameras

wrote: "Heavy duty plastic." What does that mean? How does the author know it's "heavy duty?" It could be the same polycarb rejected CD scrap Sony uses for camera bodies. The author here is basically trying to defend a heavily under-spec'd camera that is out of its league at the price-point it occupies. Photonet is better off dealing with processing black and white film. P.S; I tried the E-30. It sure doesn't feel solid to me, not like the D300 or the 50D. It doesn't even feel as solid as smaller plastic DSLRs that probably have stronger bodies by virtue of their smaller panel dimensions. http://photo.net/equipment/olympus/e....published.adp Although it’s constructed of heavy duty plastic and doesn’t have the weatherproofing of the E-3’s magnesium alloy body, the E-30 feels solidly built. It's finally happened. Rich, you have run out of thingsa to bitch about and now you have to turn to the symantics of advertising. Maybe it's time you turned your "consumer Protection" skills to another demographic or marketing verticle? Or maybe it's just time that you gave it a rest? |
