Is the camera plastic or metal?

I have the black one, and it appears to be metal. The case, as a whole, feels good and sturdy.

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think the black one is hard plastic not metal. After reading about adaptors I opted for the metal one. The metal adaptors fit better and wear better when putting them on and off the camera.

Mine is almost all plastic, I think that's normal I just shook mine and there is a small movement inside...this my first really camera and so I don't know if its support to do that but the Camera works great I've had it almost a week and lo e it"

Looks like plastic to me. Some brass where the battery is. No mater what it's made of, it worksgreat for looking at things like coins etc.

It's plastic; but surprisingly good Video !!! Not sure how long it will last, but I strap mine to rockets and hope I can find them when they land anyway ;-)

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 appears to be metal or a very very heavy grade plastic. So far it has worked very well for me. I'm not disappointed in this purchase.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

Eric Hetherington is wrong, the body is metal (has he ever seen the camera?). As far as I can tell the black frame around the LCD is also metal. It is a well made, solid camera.

It is plastic, but so far has held up very well with the rough play of my 7 year old.

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.

Plastic, but it's a good quality. Works very well. My son loves it (5 years old)

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

plastic, however, it seems to be very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months and it is still perfect.

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

I think it's aluminum. The legs are sturdy. We've had one of the three supports break off from the center post, but I can still use the tripod.
