Is this an aluminum body or did Canon use plastic?

I think the overall body is aluminum, but the shutter cover seems like a less than sturdy plastic. Only part I'm worried might take some damage over time.

My SD700is is made out of metal. The only plastic is the black frame around the LCD and the mode dial. It is not plastic anywhere else.

It looks like chrome but it is plastic. The only metal is on the bracket that holds the flash. However, it is good quality plastic. although pricey, I love these speed boxes.

plastic but still a fairly sturdy chassis. The shell will be the least of your problems though.

Metal. I like it a lot. When the flash rides on top, you can shoot a horizontal or vertical picture and they come out great.

The legs are in aluminium I think and the top is in plastic. This tripod seems stable and solid but not the top part which is in plastic.

Metal. Best camera I ever had. I misplaced it and have been using a backup but if I don't find it soon (it has to be somewhere in my house), I am going to buy another because it was that good.

This is an aluminum tripod. It performs very well. Great tripod for the price.

No aluminum it is just plastic. Maybe part of the motor inside could be but I do not see any.

Plastic. What I did before installation was I put 3M protective film on the lens. No cracks or nicks.

It is made of metal. Aluminum? This is a great product. You have to jury rig a mount for the camera but it is easy.

it is a little metal part, but seems to me that this part is attached to the plastic cage of the camera. not to robust though... SEEMS TO ME...

...metal & plastic, but this doesn't mean is sturdy. ...on mine the screw on the Quick Release Plate became lose after 2-3 times using it with a regular DSLR and not the heaviest lens at all... The seller NEVER REPLIED to my questions!I won't buy it again!LM

No. Hard plastic. Allowed the camera pushbutton to be inadvertently activated and I would get a few photos of nothing.

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.

It's aluminum .. not a bad travel pod. Fits on the side of my sling camera bag. If you plan to use a long heavy lens it may be a problem. I have an Olympus E-5 and moderate telephotos and have no problems. I hope that helps ... Phil
