That's pretty much common with any Rebel, some worse than others, and for a few, none at all. When you upgrade to the next level of prosumer bodies like the 70D or 6D that will be a non-issue.

I remember my first, the XTi creeked every time I handled it, but the replacement 40D was solid and built like a tank......

Do you know why its a common problem with Rebels?  Cheap hand grip material?

Whats this Canon hand grip recall that people talk about?
