[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 616668, member: 7240"] [b]Re: Initial impressions of the new Nikon D7500[/b] Monocoque means that the body is molded and machined out of one piece (mono). This design was first used in the D3 body which was made of magnesium. Monocoque has nothing to do with the material used, though. The opposite of monocoque is a body which is assembled by screwing together a separate top plate, separate back plate, separate bottom plate, separate mirror box and separate front plate. Exactly as Canon does its camera bodies. And many low-end Nikons too. I don't have any negative impression about the carbon fiber thermoplastics over magnesium. The monocoque body of a D750 feels noticeably more solid than D7000 or D610 whose outer shell squeaks when I squeeze the grip. [/QUOTE]
