It's too bad they didn't stick with magnesium for the whole new D500 (like the D300) instead of pretending cheap epoxy and little fragments of "carbon fiber" was a good idea.


The post talks about the D750.

Wonder where this idiot studied materials science! Plastic, metal, and
carbon fiber work together on space ships, warships, race cars, heavy
machinery, hand tools, luxury cars, cheap cars, and cameras. among
other things.

I know, I don't care about it, it's body is junky anyway, apart from being 1/2 plastic. I was lamenting the fact they didn't stick with the magnesium program for the D500.


The D500 is a nice handling camera.
