Have you read about the sensor defect on some of the T6i and T6s units? If not, check the DPR news from a few days ago or check the customer advisory on the Canon webpages. There were two new user reports on this forum. One individual received a unit with a defective sensor and the replacement was also defective. Another user returned his unit due to an autofocus problem. I don't believe I have seen any other user reports. I suspect a lot of potential buyers, like myself, will wait to see what happens with these camera models.

As a general policy, it's wise to be a late adopter. It reduces the chances of unhappy surprises, and the buyer usually get a better price.

I agree, especially with Canon gear.  In any case, I was hoping that after a couple of months or so we would have a positive track record and favorable reviews.

Nikon gear has had a lot of early production glitch issues, too. Like the oil that leaked into the sensor issue. And there was a D750 recall as well.

I think the truth is that these systems are extremely precise and difficult to design.
