I want to lead the attention of the audience to the clear cut
statement of the press release, that the MZ-S offers "magnesium
covers at the four most important places". This fits perfect to the
comments and pictures published so far.
The four places likely are:
1 retractable flash cover
2 bottom cover
3 top cover
4 front (or less likely back)
This leaves the sides, grip and back (less likely front), plus the
interior for polycarbonate (the mirror housing and film guides are
metal reinforced again). Hence there is no heavy duty full metal
body, but the class typical material mix very similar to Elan 7.
The price of the camera should indeed be in the $800 range, anything
else would be laughable.
