Canon / EOS R - Lousy Quality Control
8

Hi,

I am not very experienced with Canon and so far I had to ordered 3 EOS R to finally get 1 without issues.

Let’s say that this bad experiences with Canon are making me reconsider my choice.

My experience:

+ The first EOS R received had a misaligned EVF displaying a red light bar at the bottom edge of the EVF. It was kind of distracting framing with the EVF.

+ The second EOS R received had an issue with the LCD hinge rotate shaft. It made a weird clicking sound when flipping the LCD. In addition to that the grip rubber in front of the camera was not glued perfectly.

+ The third EOS R received seems finally to be ok.

Question 1:

It makes me wonder if this is a general issue with Canon Quality Control or this may be related to the EOS R only, being a first generation product?

Question 2:

With the Quality Control issue, here comes the question: would you consider buying Canon extended warranty CarePAK PLUS which provide an additional 2 years warranty for $300?

Thanks!
