It's kind of funny that back in the day, if you were an industrial design student and your model of your design lacked a certain amount of detailing, you would have been accused of doing a half-assed job; but now even commonplace objects have moved so far towards minimalism that the following sparsely-detailed model (or is it a rendering?) of atheoretical Holga digital camera looks high-end:
