Camera body build question...

[swiftparkour94]

They both take photos dont they so what it the point of comparing a Mini with a Rolls Royce

All these analogies are confusing me. Of course they take photos, I'm talking about the build difference within the names. How is that so hard to grasp? I feel like I'm being trolled

Whats the point as long as it works

I am a daredevil when it comes to taking some shots. I want to know what the difference in build they have because it matters to me. Better build = better and more risky shots for me

Get the 1DX whole body is made of Unobtanium

Yea....in 10 years I probably will xD

Get a 1Dmk2 then, mine is battered and still keeps going

Camera body is not the only part in the camera. I think you should start a thread for every single parts inside the camera.

Camera shutter build question
Lens mount build question
Camera body strap durability question
Camera sensor build question
Camera electronic quality question
Camera mirror mechanism build question
Camera tripod mount build quality question
Camera hotshoe mount build quality question
Camera LCD screen build quality question
Camera buttons build quality question
Camera Autofocus mechanism build quality question

You're taking my words out of context: magnesium vs magnesium >>>ALLOY<<< difference. That's it

It better be an alloy of magnesium.... or there are a bunch of Canon photographers walking around with very dangerous stuff.

Well at least if the flash battery die, you can use part of the camera body as flash.

This just does not make sense in my experience...in fact the CHEAPER the camera, the more-suited it is for risk-taking, IMHO. You wanna take a camera kayaking in a saltwater bay??? Make sure it's a CHEAP one. You wanna bolt a camera to the fender of a car in a stock car race? Don't bother with a $7,000 Canon...make sure it's a Rebel. And so on. Cause when the $h!+ hits the fan, a 1D series Canon is just likely to die as a Rebel. If a guy wants to do stooooopid stuff with a camera, there's not much sense in ruining a fine camera instead of a cheapie.

Canon says that the 7D has a magnesium body and that the Mark iv has a magnesium alloy body. What's the difference?

IMO no difference. Same metal in both.

You need to learn to read ad copy with some skeptacism and a grain of salt. Also reading between the lines wouldn't hurt either.

It makes no sense to use pure magnesium in the cheaper camera and an alloy in the more expensive one.

In fact, the reaction of pure magnesium with oxygen is highly exothermic. (even worst with water involve). So there is no way for any company to build a camera body with pure Magnesium.

Well then Canon must have made a typo...

I agree

I was thinking that....I need the FPS though if I'm going to be shooting sports. I'm thinking both the 7D and 5D mark ii
