I dunno about some of your points.

Sealing: How many times have you ever shot in the rain or in a sandstorm? The issue here would be with crap getting on the lens and ruining the shot, not getting inside the camera. I've shot in foul weather with a D60, 10D and 20D without any problem at all.

I shoot in the rain about once a week
Am happy to have weather sealing.

I  miss a lot of good work around here due to rain... that feature would be very important to me.    -tom

That's some pretty severe weather for electronics, do or did you ever have any problems with the camera shutting down, battery drain, lens frosting etc.  Just wondering in case I ever get to see snow or ice, and what do you do to prevent equipment failure?

I typically don't have problems.  I just make sure not to bring a cold camera into a warm, humid environment.  If I can't help doing that, I let the camera come up to room temperature before using it again.  Most of the time, I'm just getting back into a cold car, so it's not really an issue.

Also, I make sure to have at least one if not two backup batteries in my coat, next to my body.
