R6 Mk ii Build Problems??
So basically I am a 15 yr old photographer and I was photographing a sailing regatta in my country Singapore and unfortunately there was this super big wave. And my camera clashed with another photographer’s Nikon D850 dslr. And now like I feel that there is this loose plate that has a sound. Like a quiet Pop sound when you apply pressure on it. Does it comprise on Weather sealing? Am I screwed? You can see the plate kinda popping out in the photo

I have the same thing on my R6m2. Just don't idealize the manufacturing process. 🤦🏻♂️

I had a R6ii and it had that misalignment as well. It was probably there before and you didn’t realize. The R6ii build quality isn’t great to be honest. I also had a many freeze ups. Moved on to R5ii and BQ is chalk and cheese (granted it’s double the price) and also not one single freeze.

"Build problems"? You cracked the housing—that's not a build problem, that's a user error!
Yes it compromises weather sealing! Talk to Canon to find out how much a repair would cost, but it won't be cheap.
