I feel that way about many of todays cameras.  I played with a friend's
Pentax 645N today (the autofocus one).  Focused nicely, felt good in the
hand, but the camera itself seemed very plasticky.  Probably meaningless in
absolute terms, but the idea of spending all that money for something that
felt that way makes me a bit queezy.
