Are any components of this camera made of rubber? If yes, are they removable? I am extremely allergic. Thank you for your help.

Yes and I would think it would be hard to remove some of the areas that are made of rubber, without damaging the camera. Sorry

So far as I can tell, the entire body and lenses are plastic. The cover for A/V is soft and pliable. It might be rubber. Somehow I don't think so. You could put on vinyl gloves to open and close it. Loading pics into a computer is the only time you would need to open it. Holding the camera, changing the lenses are fine for you. Try to find a phone number for Nikon and ask. The camera is a step up for me. I'm pleased with the quality. Good luck.

Sorry, I don't know. In fact, after the 4th utilization, this box didn't isolated well and my Hero has gone. The rubber around wasn't good. I spent a lot of money on this case and lost the camera. Never more.

Hi Paula, My name is Lonnie. I also bought the camera and waterproof housing. Mine is still good. Try here for a case. http://www.intova.net/ . If you can't find the case contact customer support and I'm sure they can help....

The finger & thumb grips, lens and rear camera body buttons are plastic. The body of the camera along with the buttons on top APPEAR to be metal as does the flash cover, but could be plastic. I wish I could be certain to help you out, but am not. I have enjoyed EX-ZR700, owned it for about a year. I've had no issues, takes wonderful pictures, large zoom, versatile (and understatement) and under rated are my humble opinions. Good luck, Joy.

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

It's a hard plastic. I've had fake cameras in places for over 3 years and they still look good and hold up under hot temps(90+) in summer and below (0) in the winter and plenty of rain or snow, still looks good.

Yes, there is a rubber bottom, but our came off. We use them for our photo booth so they get moved around a bit.

I got a SX70, but it looks like new. Even if the vinyl is gone, the camera still works. You can get replacements for ~$20. But what is the intension of your question?

We bought one, which came as a rather heavier than the other point-and-shoot cameras, assumed to be made with metal. It's best to direct the question to Sony, the manufacturer, as most if not all of us bought the camera as it is shown...

It is not removable. And you don't want it to be, it adds much needed support when you put the camera down, otherwise the heavy metal lenses put strain on the camera. Always hold the camera at the adapter.

The rubber is textured and your fingers do feel less likely to slip off because this kind of rubber is more slip resistant that the non-rubber camera parts. The skin also makes the grip thicker, but not in a bad way. It can be taken off easily so you can use it only when you feel you are going to bang the camera around. The only problem I have is that the buttons are only marked with impressions of the original markings and not white. This only presents a problem in the dark and as I become more familiar with the camera the problem becomes less of a concern. After you smack the camera into a hard surface for the firs time you will order it, that's what I did.

The back of the metal plate has adhesive on it. Just peal and stick. It seems to come off pretty clean. I replaced onto another camera with no problems. DO NOT SCRAPE ANY RESIDUE OFF. If there is a little residue, put a little WD40 on a paper towel and gently wipe it off. Good luck.

Are you sure you are talking about the Canon S95? The camera has a very solid feel and the main body is metal, not plastic.

Hi Rhonda! I would remove the rubber hood when changing filters as it will be easier to do. You can push the hood back to allow more light and get rid of the tunnel look when taking pics.Tried to respond on a previous note, but it wouldn't send??!! You have a might fine camera, I hope you get much enjoyment from it over time. IF you have questions, please drop a line andI will get back to you quickly. Very Best, Mike

Hi Fred, Did some searching, and according to "Digital Camera Info" web site, the body is "heavy" and made of metal, but it doesn't specify what the metal is. It has a "leather-like" texture to it. I've enjoyed your reviews, so wanted to help out if I could. ;-)
