So yesterday I was in a value village and I see a camera bag sitting at the front counter, upon inspection it was a full kit with a minolta maxxum 5000, 4 lens, flash, filters, and manuals.

I’ve heard people throw the term plastic fantastic around here and there but never really heard it reference actual models, this is a plastic body camera and feels just as solid as my older slr cameras.

So would this be one of these plastic fantastic models or no?

    That entry level 50mm has been made by Canon for a very long time. It’s always been referred to as the “nifty-fifty”. Plastic Fantastic is another nickname derives from a surfboard company of the same name. Also a famous book. It hasn’t always been made of plastic.
