it doesnt seem to be able to be cleaned off even by using a damp cloth or lenspen... so is sweat residue so stubborn on a magnesium alloy body?
The magnesium is only the chassis i think, the exterior is still plastic. Somehow the higher end models' plastic feel better. It could be due to the weight though, or just my perception.
I think most(including d5000 and 500D) has a metal chassis, the salesman is trying to bluff you?
Maybe bluff is not such a good word.....
EDITED: checked, d5000 has a metal chassis too. So far, I only know leica lens is metal, rather than plastic, construction.
