Frodge, seriously, you found minor issues on your T3i and now the 60D. Why don't you just purchase a Nikon and be done with it.

I actually considered this at one point, but nikon are even worse. I wonder if there is an aftermarket company that creates grip material from leather and other materials as well. There was a company I used for my yashica that I cannot recall the name of, but they did not make any for dslrs. _______________

Even if it does it's nothing that 5 minutes and some silicone adhesive won't fix. I'd be more worried about the "No card in camera" error you might get someday although I don't see many posts about that issue anymore.

After a brief panic attack I put an SD card in the camera and experienced relief and satisfaction.

Jan 12, 2014 19:10 | #59 only had a front peeling problem on mine. i bought it in 2010, the peeling started showing itself around late 2012 or very early 2013. fortunately, canon (philippines) replaced the grip for free since it was under the 3-year warranty program. Make yourself heard

There is nothing, not one thing, wrong with the camera in that photo. Rick
