Hi, just wondering if those nikon camera bodies made of magnesium bodies corrode overtime especially if there is paint chips or sweaty palms?
Cheers
I have worked with this material in my previous job. Yes it will corrode but certainly would not based on the way that we use our camera and not in our lifetime of owning it.

Dude... I really think it is fine. And that you may want to refresh your 'O' level chemistry.

Anyway lots of ignorant people (even with 'proper' qualifications) think that stainless steel will not corrode as well :bsmilie:

Don't worry about corrosion of magnesium body. By the time the body starts corroding, other parts of the camera has gone kaput.
And the service center will no longer maintain parts inventory for that camera model so you can just kiss your camera goodbye :bsmilie:

Just took my O's a few days ago, textbook says pure Magnesium is very reactive, in the upper reactivity series leh, reliable? LOL!
Anyway, my dad's 19 year old F4 which has parts of the paint scratched off is still shiny, no corrosion whatsoever. I am pretty sure with the rate which digital cams are launched, you won't be having the camera long enough to worry about corrosion.
