There is an ongoing discussion somewhere concerning the assembly of the control wheel of the 6D. Basically, if you push one end of the multicontroller button and use a bright light, you will see the contacts on the circuit board, very much like the contacts on the lens mount.
I understand that 6D is not advertised as weather-proof and such, but this appears to raise some concern whether or not the 6D can handle normal usage as water can easily get leaked inside and ruin part of the circuit board.
The picture is not my 6D, but mine also appears to be the same. Also, a number of people have reported to have a similar issue.
What\'s your opinion on this? Do you think it\'s about the same risk as using a lens that has no rubber seal on the mount (all lenses besides L with weather seal)?
Also, if you could, check your 6D, carefully use some bright light to inspect your unit and post the first 6 digit of your camera.
Thank you.
P.S. My 6D - same issue s/n 022023xxxxxx
EDITED: Just FYI, it appears that 6D with rubber seal exists as shown in the 2nd picture. (Again, it\'s not mine, but the owner claims it appears to be a rubber gasket inside.) The serial number is not known though.
