Make all DSLRs with metal bodies, how would it hurt?

1. They'd all be better for it. And then the makers would go out of business when the competitor came out with cheaper cameras that used quality plastics. 2. Solid construction doesn't have to mean hugely heavier. Nor does it have to mean metal. 3. Costs would be higher, likely $800/ea. And that's how you go out of business. -- Ray Fischer |

Sony is already selling DSLRs at a loss in order to gain market share. So you claim. $2k for a 24 megapixel FF versus $6000 from Canon and $8000 from Nikon. Are you really so stupid that you don't know the difference between production cost and retail price? Well, yes, you are. Canon starts at under $3000 for a FF dSLR and I bet that Nikon is trying to come out with a competitor. -- Ray Fischer |
