Why do so many people here name all Canon bodies like 5Dii, 1Diii and 1Dsii
Instead of 5DII, 1DII and 1DsII
Or even 5D2, 1D2 and 1Ds2

Ok. but why replace a any number with the letter i. When you already have pressed the caps lock or shift for the D in 5D, it's even more easy to continue pressing it so you get 5DII instead of 5Dii

This marked the end of Canon FD manual focus lenses. All Canon users were in the awkward position that buying the new Canon camera meant that you had to buy all new lenses. At the time, I was shooting Pentax, and so I was fine.
Can you imagine... ?
I still have the 650, it was my first camera

I actually was still using it almost right up until I finally thought digital was good enough to give up film and got a 20D. The shutter went dead two years before though during a trip so I had a Rebel2000 to tie me over until I got the 20D.

After years of travel in a semi my 1DIII finally had a bad thing happen. I'm sure Canon will fix it for me next time I'm home.
Gary, that's nothing!
Here's one of my 1DIIIs... BTW, it still works fine, just there is a line through the image! I took it to Canon and the CPS rep asked if I was sure it wasn't a hair, then took it back to the techs where they probably had a good laugh. The quote was about $1500 for sensor replacement. Since the camera isn't even worth that much on the used market, I decided to decline. My insurance deductible is $1000, so again, not really worth it...
D60 - Supply problems meant it was hard to find one, and there were a few problems with the camera, it was replaced one year later by the 10D.
300D - No manual metering mode, had allot of hidden features from the 10D that were eventually unlocked by a firmware hack, cheap feeling plastic body, only available in silver until a limited edition black 300D was launched near the end of the product cycle, Error 99 issues when using third party lenses.
30D - A 20D with bigger LCD screen, ISO in viewfinder and a few minor changes.
40D - 10mp sensor while the 450D got a 12mp sensor, and the low resolution LCD screen.
50D - First Canon sensor to feature gapless microlenses and people complained about soft images, and high ISO performance was worse then the 40D.
60D - First XXD series camera to get a plastic body and caused controversy and is often referred to as a 'Super Rebel', lack of the AF micro adjust feature.
7D - 18mp on a APS-C sensor and people complaining about AF accuracy, it was also the first Canon camera to feature the new Canon translucent LCD viewfinder with no option for interchangeable focusing screens.
5D - Some copies had the mirror fall out.
5D Mk II - No improvement made to the autofocus system, banding problems.
5D Mk III - Priced higher then Nikon D800 and no real significant improvement in megapixels over the Mk II.
1D Mk III - Autofocus issues that canon kept denying and then they finally admitted there was a problem and all the issues with trying to come up with a fix that actually worked.
1Dx - Only 18mp, and now merges the 1D and 1Ds lines which is controversial for those who need a high megapixel camera for studio work.
