I agree the door is flimsy, and should be easier to replace. Having said that, I’ve had over a dozen canon cameras and have never broken a door. Now that the R10 supports USB charging, I rarely open the door anyway… I’m not going to worry about it…

I came to realize that the flimsy impression is subjective, probably because the door is not spring loaded. So in that regard it could be as fragile as many other battery doors.

But, I use the door often, to get the SD card in and out and to swap batteries on the go.
Almost always I charge with the external charger to lower the charging temperature and is the only way to charge a couple of 3rd party batteries.

The bottom line is that this door is not user removable like other Canon cameras.
You need to do some body disassembling to remove it, that is, for repair only.
This is something potential buyers need to be aware of, that is all.
