Re: The point is

In reply to cyk, Apr 7, 2012

This really is one of the silliest concerns that I have ever seen.

My 5D2 and 5D3 both exhibit said behavior. My 5D2 is from one of the very first batches, it even had the 'black dot problem'. Newer 5D2s have also been reported to exhibit this behavior. One might conclude that all 5D2s are affected by this. Yet, noone has ever noticed it affecting their photography. This really is silly. I suggest if it really concerns you, do not shine a flashlight on your camera or turn on the lcd light when doing long exposure night photograpy.

Suggesting 'major camera flaw' or 'a recall is warranted' is absurd.
