Feel is the last thing one needs to be concerned about when choosing a camera. The first and foremost is Image Quality, the next is performance (will the camera do what I need it to do), then camera system (because you are actually purchasing a camera system not just a body) the the camera manufacturer have the lenses and accessories l need far into the furure, budget (mmh maybe higher on the list) ... then maybe feel.
All dSLR are built around the same human hand ... they are not significantly different ... and within a very very short time span a human can easily adjust to whatever camera meets the more important factors and considerations.

PS- I am not saying don't physically check out cameras ... just don't make feel a high priority.

I wouldn't dismiss feel (or potentially by extension of your comment on the human hand, ergonomics) nearly that quickly. If the camera feels unpleasant or awkward it will be less pleasant to use and that may take away from the experience. There are some pretty major differences between the manufacturers and the individual cameras in the line.
Personally, I find the sub-bodies very annoying to hold and work with... granted I've always had the main bodies so I kind of expect a more solid and larger feeling camera.
