1.13 Internal construction
１）Exterior covers and internal construction
The camera body construction is almost the same as the EOS KISS DIGITAL N's. A
stainless steel chassis and a mirror box made of high-strength engineering plastic make the
body as strong as the EOS KISS DIGITAL N's body (Fig. 028).
As with the EOS KISS DIGITAL N, the camera's top, front, and rear covers are made of
special engineering plastic for lightweight, high strength, and electromagnetic shielding.
The exterior surface is coated with a leathery paint finish to make fingernail scratches
less noticeable. The camera will come in two color versions, silver and black.

configuration are the same as the EOS KISS
DIGITAL N. The following units have been
