Why should build quality *not* be important? The "shelf life," as you call it, by which I presume you mean "useful life," is as long as the build quality allows it to be. Simply because there's something out there that is considered more modern technology doesn't mean that an existing camera has outlived its usefulness.
The *ist-D will continue to produce images of like quality for as long as it continues to function. Better built cameras take more abuse and continue to function longer. Simple, really. Quoting "J.
