what is the Nikon Coolpix 2100/3100 camera body made up of?
Polystyrene garbage. A step from even rotten polycarbonate.
That begs the question...

No, it doesm't. It _raises_ the question, it _demands_ the

the question:

True, it doesn't beg the question. But it doesn't raise, demand, or
prompt the question either. It "avoids" the question, another common
misuse of "begs".
