Re: The Problem With Under $500 Digital Cameras Today:

Posted by Hornlover on May 18, 2005 at 10:04:30:
These complaints have nothing to do with digital. Under $500 film cameras are also plastic. That aside, there is no real problem with that. I'm on my second point and shoot digital, and I have never had any problem from the plastic construction. My first, a Fuji 6200, gives great images, and is easy to use. It was dropped a few times, and now has a few scratches on the plastic body here and there, but it still works fine. I gave it to my 7 year old son, who has a great time shooting anything he can with it.
Plastic means we CAN buy them for under $500. Its now a plastic world, you just need to get used to it. If you want heavy metal, you will need to pay more.
