Micro Stainless Steel Camcorder looks good, functions better

steel_camcorder.jpg

I've always been a sucker for anything stainless steel, so I am pretty giddy seeing Micro's Stainless Steel Camcorder. Not only does this cam look great on the outside, but it also shoots DVD-quality footage. It can record upwards of two hours of footage and 100 5.4-megapixel still images on a 2 GB SD card. It is available from ThinkGeek for a very reasonable $150.

Seeing a cam like this makes me wonder why more manufacturers don't create stainless steel gadgets? Cost? Demand?I want to see straight up, completely stainless steel gadgets. No plastics, no extra-glossy and definitely no fake stainless steel that is nothing more than a glossy silver coating. Stainless steel provides a level of durability and quality that one would expect out gadgets that cost hundreds of dollars. So who's with me? Who wants some stainless steel gadget love? Hit the comments and let us know.

Yeah! I'm totally for more stainless steel Electronics! I have Gadgets that are made out of plastic, and the outer coating ends up scraping off in spots revealing the ugly plastic color! Plastic can also fade if left in the sunlight! If you pay hundreds of dollars for a Gadget, you want it to be high quality and last a while, no matter how quickly it will be outdated!

I love gadgets made of any metal. They look nice, they feel nice, and they're tough. Last week I dropped my Ricoh Caplio GX-100 digicam about 5 feet to the concrete. It got dinged in one corner and that's it. Still works fine. Couldn't believe it. Metal casing! (But painted black)
