Re: rubberized is not the same as "plastic"

The only Panasonic that ever struck me as pure plastic was the G6, and to a lesser extent the GH2. These two shocked me a bit at first, but I got used to it. Interestingly, the G5 had a gorgeous body and although the shell was plastic, it never felt like "plastiky."

Most pre-GH3 cameras from Panasonic have a steel frame inside, and a plastic body over it. I think that is a sensible way to construct small system cameras.

The GH3 and GH4 feel more "solid", but I'm not sure it makes any real life difference.
