SX50HS - Cheap Plastic

I had to send the SX50HS back. I'm probably a design fascist, but even though the lens and the spec is impressive, I just couldn't stand the feel of the plastic and especially the rear control wheel. It feels like a cheap toy. I hate it.

I love my S95, and before that my G9 - they feel robust. The SX50 felt like it would fall apart.

Now if Canon could reproduce the SX50 in a metal body, never mind the weight or the extra price, I'd want it.

Guess I'll have to get the G15 instead.

Bring on the haters...
