the discussion was on body performance NOT body housing
Not the way you stated it. You made a blank dismissal of the camera, despite the fact that many thousands of working pros use this camera on a daily basis.
Most people who own this camera, and who have posted here, have disagreed with your statements, in what they have said in their posts. You obviously do not use this camera, so you are not qualified to make the comments you have. If you did use the camera, you wouldn't be making the comments.
Please do not now say that you do use this camera, because it simply is not believable.
You don't understand why some of the specs are what they are, and aren't making any allowance for cost.
This camera doesn't sell for$4,500, much less for $8,000. Because of that, to compare the relatively minor, for most people, differences in fps, or shutter lag, or possibility of not auto focusing at f8 as a non starter for most pro's is simply wrong. Very few working photographers care about these things the way you seem to. Only if their particular professions REQUIRE it, do they care.
I have to assume that you only use1Ds's or 1D's to care so much about it.
Far more pro photography is deliberative, rather than rushed, where the 1D excells. Few photographers need, and use f8 lenses, or slower models with extenders, that bring the stop to 8 or slower.
Again, almost every poster who owns the camera has stated the the autofocus is just fine on the old model, and the new one is somewhat improved.
In fact, the only reason why many pros have chosen the 1Ds over the old 5D is because of the sharpness of the image, due to the higher pixel count, which is significant. Now, that's gone, perhaps to be replaced with an even higher pixel count in the 1Ds mkIII replacement. Or maybe not.
I've had my camera out in the rain, cold, and heat. On the beach, and high winds, and it hasn't failed yet. I'm sure than many others can say the same thing. And the new model will be better!
Perhaps you don't use a Canon "pro" model, and simply think this is out of your reach.
Whatever the reason, your simple statement is itself unreasonable, and flies in the face of what almost all the other users have said.
Perhaps you should go back and re-read the comments made by those users over the past 100 pages. You will then see what a small minority you are in over this.

?? I feel very sorry for some people that trying to reduce in such way the value of a new FullFrame DSLR camera. Friends just wake up 5D II is nothing to do with any Rebel or other cropped sensor DSLR
