It kind of cracks me up when people talk about/are worried about the resale value of a camera they just bought 37 seconds ago. I have NEVER based any purchase decision on the future resale value it may have, whether it be a vehicle, a piece of gear or an iPod. If you want one, buy it. Use it, ENJOY it.

Does anyone else notice the middle circuit board is in a different place after the fix? there's also another black "chipset" in the middle that is also not there after the fix…did they just tuck everything under the black tape?
Also, it seems like they only removed the top cover to apply this fix..this doesn't cause dust to enter the sensor right? Since the top cover isn't exactly where the sensor is?

Come to think of it, back in my large format camera days, we had light leak issues... if light was leaking into the bellows, we used gaffers tape. There was also a huge defect where under bright sunny conditions, looking in the rear of the camera, you could barely see the image let alone focus, we had to use a cloth! Can you believe that? a white and black cloth? and the manufacturer wouldn't even supply it, we had to buy our own!

Actually, i take back my words..the fact that light can leak from the top to the sensor, means that the moment you remove the top cover to "fix" this issue..means dust will definately enter the sensor area…
So i don't think i'll be sending in my camera for this "fix"

Not sure why so many people are confused by this issue. The light leak does not...Not...NOT...affect the imaging sensor. The light leak affects the metering sensor (which is in the pentaprism housing that protrudes up from the body), which affects the exposure determined by the light meter. The image is not directly affected.
(Plus, I'm pretty sure that Canon Service can work on things inside the camera without messing up the imaging sensor, I mean, things do go wrong in there, shutter failure, etc., and Canon can fix them, right?)

Looks good to me, but still not going to bother sending mine in.
Tape is everywhere in electronics. It's all over my motorcycle. A device that carries me to 170mph, rain or shine, hot or cold. Tape is okay. The only place i can recall not seeing much tape was inside high-end audio gear. But that's just because they use the clean layout and lack of things like tape as a selling point to blow the mind of the innocent. Many audio guys would rather sleep with their amp than their wife.

4) the DiY fix.
This is funny. It reminded me of an old story. A guy wanted to steal a bell hanging on his neighbor’s front door. He was afraid that the sound of the bell would alarm his neighbor. So he came up with a fix – covering his own ears.
