Does the finish really matter on a camera that will
be obsolete in 5 years time? I know I would not want
to pay for better finish on temporary (dare I say disposable?) camera...
Yes.
Finish is what makes the camera a pleasure to use, rather than a tool which must be endured.
As an example, the Spotmatic line of cameras was rendered obsolete some 30 years ago, but for some reason, people still try to find nice ones with well preserved finishes.
