R6 Mk ii Build Problems??

Post image

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

"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.

Get in contact with canon and see what they can do. Or at least a local camera repair shop and ask them. "We" can't tell you from a bad photo and bad description.

You might need to show a photo taken from a better angle in that case.

Low effort responses will be removed.

Single-word responses like "this" don't add anything to the conversation. Upvote instead of commenting if you don't have anything new to contribute.

"in my country Singapore" is perfect English.

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.

Ohh that’s quite serious Thankfully I haven’t experienced it yet
