As I have stated previously, no I am not sure. I was going by
the texture of the top plate. It could be some kind of tough
coating on die cast. The spec sheet definately states the top
and bottom plate are diecast magnesium. The camera does feel
very solid.
As I answered in a previous message, size is relative. It is
definately bigger than my ME Supers <smile>. It seem bigger
than I remember the ZX-5n to be.
