Brahma,
ABS is the same plastic used in motorcycle helmets. It requires complex and 
expensive molds to formand is not practical for a one off camera.  I use a 
Walker Titan 4x5 camera that is made of ABS and love it.  I don't have to 
worry about rain or snow and can shoot when many other (probably smarter) 
people have gone indoors.  Look at <A 
HREF="http://www.walkercameras.com/index.htm";>Walker Cameras</A> for more 
information.
