People complain about the lack of substance with the D600 in their hands as compared to the D800 or D4. I suspect that there would be push back from similar types should a camera be made from something stronger but lighter, if only for that reason. You can tell them all you want, but that won't make 'em like it. Though perhaps with lenses?

Don't think anyone will be building cameras that are a single molecule thick anytime soon! :)

This is just the start of what we'll be seeing a lot of in the future. There's a reason why all life forms are composed of carbon, it's an excellent building block but one that we're only now learning how to use it properly. Carbon is in the same group as silicon and it won't be very long from now that we'll be replacing all the Si chips with carbon. Carbon nanotubes are another amazing material in the same arena as graphene. Light and stronger than the hardest titanium alloy.

I'm afraid not - I left my bunsen burning days in pursuit of silicon happiness, although the lovely other half known as they wife is a secondary school (high school) science teacher :)


I now live the life of a geek.

Oh hold on, both lives would have been lived as geeks.... errrm, I now live the life of an IT geek (though being a qualified chemist, does that make me a double geek?!)
