I noticed this issue on one of my 5D MKII's, and I thought I would pass it along if anyone else had noticed the same. Both of my 5D MKII's are a little over 1.5 years old, and they both have the same amount of use, but only one has this issue.
As you can see, on one of the cameras the battery door doesn't close tightly, and on the other it's fine:
Normal:
Abnormal:

So far I haven't noticed any ill effects of this, but it will obviously negate any weather sealing there and I assume that if it gets any worse, the camera will think the battery door is open and turn off. Short term solution will be carrying some gaffer tape with me at my next gig... I guess the long term solution will be to replace the door? Hopefully that will fix it.
Anyone else ever see this on a 5D, or any other camera?
