Canon 1Dx turning white

[brianftpc]

I got my Canon 1Dx December 31, 2012 and the right grip is turning white. I had read about this happening on the 5D3 but not on the 1Dx. Is there a recall on this problem?

We had a 650D thats rubber grip went white. That was subject to recall.

If it a rare occurrence then they'll likely just fix the ones which get sent in; If it is widespread then they'll likely recall them. If it is worth doing for a T4i then it is absolutely worth doing on their current top-of-the-heap pro body.

I think that on the 650 it was something in the rubber reacting with zinc, and the possible source of the zinc was sunscreen...

Call Canon, you can send in the camera or you can ask them to send you a new cover. The black cover just peels off, and a new one put on. Its not particularly difficult, they are commonly replaced when damaged.
