FYI: D750 light leak issues

I suppose this happens to all manufacturers nowadays.
(to summarize, there is a light leak when shooting into backlit scenes using live view)

I don't have that body to play with but it looks like, if you got it in just the right position, it would also affect stills.
Looks like an internal reflection within the mirrobox.

Looks like they were determined to copy the 5DIII as closely as possible.

Leaky Canons and Nikons. Is Sony the new king? ;D

It's a very different issue from what happened with the early 5D3s. It's more like the effect you see with the non-flocked EF-FE adapters where you can get some very strong flaring that's artificially cutoff whereas the 5D3 issue was purely a metering thing.

My guess would be that most products have certain - minor - flaws. The light leak issues are such minor flaws. At best, they ruin very very few shots.

My guess further would be that also older products have exactly the same flaws, if not more. But I reckon no one has ever tested analog SLRs to such a depth that those things would ever have been noticed. And if they had been noticed, in the pre-internet times nobody would have learned about these flaws.

QC is dying...

Fortunately! I'd rather send back a bad copy now and again than to have 1/3rd more of the price.

You just have to be prepared for it, and the question is if there are just some duds or the whole production line is crappy (I'm thinking of you, Yongnuo!).

If you discover it on time, if you can send it back (= if they accept it), if company has a solution, if you can do without it for some time, if it is a dud and not a design error, etc....

 

[Marsu42]

Of course they'll do it, that's the whole point of saving on qc w/o loosing custmers - unless you're a bottom feeder company and specialize in hit & run products.

iif it is a dud and not a design error, etc....

Sure, reliable "pro" gear is much more expensive, but what's the use to me if I cannot afford it?

if company has a solution, if you can do without it for some time

We were talking about qc there, not about faster development times due to market pressure.

Products being not tested enough to "banana ware" is issued to involuntary beta-testers is unfortunately a result of customers wanting the latest and greatest gear all the time - this forum is proof.

What exactly is a light leak?

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

Canon quickly admitted that there was light leakage in 5D mark iii, and a few weeks later offered immediate and no-cost repair. :

Judging by Nikon history, they must deny the problem until in 2015 there will be a D760 without this problem. :-X

Lol

What exactly is a light leak?

Light leakage is a problem in that light passing through slits or holes (not through the lens) and wrongly reaches the image sensor, or metering.

Thanks for explaining it for me.
