hellohithere Posted July 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've just received my Q3 today and picking it up, I noticed right away it feels different than my Q2. The Q2 always felt like a cold metal tank when I picked it up, but the Q3 feels thinner and not as solid. The SD card door is now plastic, the lens cover feels plastic, and even the front texturing feels like plastic. Does anyone else notice this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beewee Posted July 7, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2023 It’s magnesium and has a low thermal mass but try holding it without gloves in freezing temperature and you’ll quickly realize it is metal. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed the same when playing with it in the store. A gentle knocking on the body with the nail has that unpleasant plasticky sound/feel too.
