Pavel, delighted for you and I guess you're a man who makes very careful and wise choices before opening the wallet. Thus, I can only wince in sympathy to hear of the door-catch's flimsiness..I'm certain though that the rest of the camera will quickly outshine such an irritation.
Adrian's reflection sums up my own: if I were starting afresh I'd be so seriously considering this in its "E" incarnation. Thing is I guess, if I added the vertical grip to the "E" cost, then price personally starts becoming a serious issue(..but yet again, if one wants seriously enough, one finds the extra.)
Related to this but as an aside, I notice that secondhand outlets here at least, have far more used Canon full-frame models than Nikon(statistically always going to be the case), so that you'll see a few Nikon D300s and that's it...whereas excellent used deals are to be had for Canon's 5D(1st 2), 1Ds(1 and 2) and the almost FF 1D and Dn.
