Yeah, that's right.
Low light, high speeds, high magnification, fast AF, accurate AF, etc. are where the higher end bodies separate themselves. With good glass, a tripod and good technique, you can produce great scenics and portraits with almost any body appropriate for the lens. Shooting the same shot with the 5D MkII will look pretty much the same with competent processing, UNTIL you look at a 100% blow up, then you'll fall out of your chair over the differences. At internet sizes, much of the discussion is purely theoretical, but start blowing up prints to hang on the wall and then the differences start to show.
