Hi Marco, There's different grades of plastic as well as different types of metal, so just condemning something because it's plastic (without any further information) doesn't show much intelligence. If he'd said something about (Nikon's) high eyepoint viewfinders being better than Canon's standard then I'd have to agree, but that's because I wear spectacles.
Perhaps he was smarting because he'd finally realised that not all Nikon lenses are compatible with all their cameras...
