Camera Recommendations?
I am on my fourth DIGITAL camera in a years time. I am looking for a SLR that has a METAL body or at the very least, metal components. are there any out there?
My Nikon D200 has a metal body. So does the Canon 30D. The discontinued Canon 20D is probably the cheapest dSLR with a metal body: $900 retail. Great camera. These are all 'semi-pro' models. And of course, all of the professional bodies are nearly bullet-proof, too.
You won't find any entry level dSLR cameras with a metal body because build quality is the first thing that manufacturers skimp on to cut costs.
If 'SLR' was a typo, look into the Olympus Stylus 720 SW (http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1225 ). This point & shoot with a metal body is guaranteed to be shock-proof up to 5 feet and waterproof up/ down to 10 feet. I can't find anything about flame throwers or battery acid, however
