Is it me or the R10 battery door feels really cheap, like it could break at any moment ?
Or perhaps it feels weak because is not spring loaded, or mine have that spring missing ?
In my 15 years owning different digital cameras, this has to be the lowest quality battery door I've had.
What will happen when it finally breaks ?
The lousy switch looks like a point of failure.
The issue is, this camera won't turn on without the door shut, even when the battery is properly inserted.
Does Canon sells it as a part and can it be replaced by users ?
Alternatively, can the door sensor be hacked to allow the camera turn on without the door ?
I ask because I'm surprised this doesn't get mentioned, this is perhaps the weakest R10 part concerning longevity, reliability.
Has anyone heard of any failures yet?
Not me, but the R10 was released just 8 months ago.
The “sensor” is a simple “depressable” momentary micro-switch that can be “hacked” with a bit of tape if needed. It’s a good idea to keep a bit of duct type (but removable, non residue) tape with you anyway in your kit.

I briefly tried to find it and inserted a paper clip where it looks like the switch would be located but didn't work.
Hopefully someone, someday make a tutorial video about replacing the door and hacking the switch.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
