Loose Canon hot shoe mounts see users turn to DIY solutions as camera maker refuses recall for long-running issue

[Redaktion]

A steady stream of reports about loose Canon EOS R5 and R6 hot shoe mounts has hit the internet over the last two years, and it appears to be stirring up a bit of a fuss among the photography community. More concerning than loose and detaching hardware is that Canon isn't offering any service or recall support outside of warranty repair, leaving many owners to DIY a solution.

If Nikon and Canon want to start charging almost twice as much as what they used to cost they better start making it worthwhile. They have seemingly managed to abandoned the reasonably priced SLR market due to pressure from phones, understandable yet sad. A noticeable drop in quality control with a huge price increase makes for a crap combination, their unwillingness to address the issue just makes this more embarrassing.
Meanwhile my 10+ year old Nikon SLR is still fully functional, it cost A TENTH of what these clowns charge for bodies nowadays.
