So many of the new Nikons look kind of ‘plasticy'...just haven't got that solid feel of the older ones. Am I right in thinking this and can someone give me a quick comparison to try to get this overall quality issue sorted?
Try picking up a D200, D2X, D300 or D700 - Along with the D3 and the New D3X - all are made of magnesium alloy and feel very solid indeed!
The D70 was a nice chunky size but a little lighter than one might expect; as it was made of polycarbonate on top of a metal chassis.
I still think if feels nice in the hands, compared to much of its competition though!
Try comparing with the Canon 350D, 400D, 450D etc.
