This is kind of an “EPIC FAIL”, even if we assume that Canon isn’t responsible for the error of the rubber manufacturer.

In the other hand, a color changing DSLR would be kinda fun, was it not caused by an allergen. :D Either way, if the white player is permanent, these pieces may become rare, highly priced collector pieces one day, like banknotes with incorrect serial numbers, or stamps with print errors.

I wonder tho, does Canon replace them free of charge?

That’s true Sandra, I expanded the rest of the quote to include Canon’s solution to it.

Hey, don’t just tell everyone that there is a problem and that Canon knows about it… your post had me wondering if Canon’s solution was to wash your hands after using the camera! Tell the rest of the story… from Canon: “Preparations are underway to provide free repair service for
affected cameras by replacement of the rubber grips. Once this repair
service is available (ETA of mid July 2012), we will post an update on
our web site and also notify registered users via email. Please
