Is the camera body made of metal or plastic?

I do believe the case is plastic. It does not feel like metal. I make sure I keep it in the case and around my wrist when using the camera.

Plastic outside and metal in side. Weight is good for it having quality plastic. Sights, stock, and hand grip as well as the trigger guard are heavy plastic. Internal components and trigger are metal. Magazine has heavy weights in it that make it feel very real

Both. a Metal Plate screwed into the body of the lens. a Plastic ring protrudes out the center of that plate and engages the camera body. The plastic ring has metal connectors which come out its sides to engage the camera.

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...

true, it's plastic. But before choosing a different model consider the ImageStablization in your decision-making. We returned our previous, larger, more expensive digital camera because of all the blurry photos--couldn't catch a busy toddler on it (Good thing we'd purchased from Costco.com, they'll even refund shipping if you don't like it!). I hate plastic (my kids drink from glass cups with stainless steel straws), and was a little disappointed when the SD700 IS arrived because someone had claimed it was stainless, but the great photos of my kids playing full-speed make up for it! This camera kicks butt and fits in a pocket. true, it's plastic. But before choosing a different model consider the ImageStablization in your decision-making.

Because the lens is light I'd guess it was plastic but that's only a guess. It's installed now so I can't check. It's working fine whatever the material.

Plastic body, pretty solid, kinda cheap buttons and metal prongs but it'll do the job.. The one I bought was lost after I bought it so that's all I remember :) blessings!

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 heavy plastic and does not fit my flash very well. I do not use mine.

Plastic. The entire housing is made of the same stuff, aside from the inside reflector and the mount.

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 is plastic. For the price I am happy. Even with a long lens the locks hold. It would not be suitable for a professional.

Body is metal and the lens are plastic. They are so far working well after several months.

I am not home right now to verify. However, I believe its metal internals covered with plastic.

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.

Feels heavy like it is a metal frame inside but is all plastic exterior, I bought it for slow motion video capabilities and it can capture air rifle pellets in flight. I was actually using it this weekend to take pictures on a boat trip and in auto mode it just seems to take a great picturenevery time and even with heavy zoom... Love this little point and shoot, I have a high end nikon and rarely grab it anymore.
