Ben\'s point is that it doesn\'t matter what Canon says, because they won\'t honor the claim anyhow. In reality, the door design just will not allow adequate sealing on a vital area.
And my point is, how does he know this? Is he a fluids or materials science engineer who has thoroughly examined the design of the 5D II door? I\'m betting not. I\'m an engineer, and I sure as hell couldn\'t tell you anything about whether the design works or not because I don\'t have access to the design drawings, or to the 5D II itself. Also, in order to get a water rating, Canon would have to test the camera in certain environments. They don\'t just release fake numbers because they think they sound good...they test the cameras under these conditions. The 150K shutter life? They tested buttload of shutters and took the MTBF for the shutter. Same with the water. Manufacturers wont release ratings unless they\'ve been tested.
