Freddie, you claim to be right over the camera, and I have NEVER said you were wrong, all I know is that the one I have has a magnesium alloy body with a plastic covering..according to the paperwork it has with it.
Now I am hardly going to damage my camera to find out if there is a magnesium alloy under the plastic, but I have no reason to doubt what my manual states now do I.
As I said at the time, I am not in a position to explain this seeming inconsistancy, and care even less. You are the one who has continued this for MONTHS. THAT IS CHILDISH.
I removed the comment in my sig as I realised I was being as foolish as you.
You have focused on one thread several months ago in which there is an anomaly over a camera, however if I wanted to focus on your pathetic and purile posts then I would have more than enough ammunition for attacking you..but that is NOT what the forums are for.
To end this urinating annoying line you have gone down, I have emailed Canon US, as I bought the Camera there, to find out why my paperwork makes the meg-Alloy claims yet the webite and a UK manual I have seem clearly claims only a plastic body. Whether they respond I do not know, but I will post the email once I recive it if it will stop this purile disagreement.
