New Rebels have a sensor manufacturing defect?

Uncle Roger speaks, and it might be some bad news for Canon:

Surround-Cam shots, where one needs 20 or more slave cameras linked by radio transceiver to a master camera/transmitter.

Good question, probably people who want to write reviews!

Ugh, that sounds like a serious q&a issue you'd suspect could only slip by Sigma, Tamron, Tokina or other cheap 3rd party manufacturers, but not a quality company like Canon. Probably for these rental companies, the had set up a special early delivery route that bypassed some q&a checks that apply to usual "off the shelf" customers?

Anyway, that should teach Canon to try to innovate with sensors, if they'd have stuck to the 18mp design this wouldn't have happened

It does not matter. There are plenty of people buying rebels. I seriously doubt that Canon is only shipping flawed sensors to camera rental businesses.
