I saw when they posted it and here are my 2 cents on the the 'flaws'...
SD Card Freeze: I almost wonder if this isn't user error. What she described isn't what people here have where they are shooting pictures and the camera locks up. She described how she puts a card in and the camera doesn't work right from that point on. It almost makes me wonder if she is ejecting while in use and it's corrupting the file system. Granted she could have an issue with cards or her camera.. but what she described is just odd... and if I were her, I would rule out cards being an issue by getting a new fast card. My only gripe on the cards is I would have preferred 2 cfx cards.
AF: Agree to some extent... when it's on, it's amazing... when not, you fall back to other means of tracking. But feel this is somewhat par for the course for any camera.
Battery Life: This is a meh imo. Power requirements are what they are, and there is always a balance between runtime, size, weight. You can buy a dummy pack or more batteries if you need more run time. My gripe however is the cost of single LP-E6NH... it should really be cheaper.
Video Limits: not an issue for me, but could see how it can be for others.
Boring Design: This I strongly disagree with. I want/prefer a highly functional and boring design. Give me a black camera that looks like a general EOS/Nikon camera and I'm happy. The camera is a tool, and would prefer it to 'blend in' the surroundings. I don't want my camera to stand out, saying "look at the expensive camera I'm holding". There are actual times I don't mount a big white, due to my surroundings. I'm also one that wishes the RF 70-200mm F4 was black to blend in a bit more.
