Hi John, Canon touts the Elan 7E as having more metal than the average SLR. In fact, they have an interactive online demo of just how much. See: http://www.elan7.com/camcambin/cameras/35mm/slr/elan7_demo/intro_f.html Cheers Julian Loke P.S. If metal is so good, why are carbon fibre plastic tripods so expensive :-( * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
