Canon EOS REBEL T4i Advisory

[David Sutton]

Life seems to get weirder. I must check what's in that cough medicine...
It appears if you have a Rebel T4i you may need to carry rubber gloves and take precautions.

My Canon won't make me pregnant, will it?

My Canon won't make me pregnant, will it?   

Only if  you play with it too much.

Risk of abortion. Be careful!

... rubber hand-grips of some models may turn white, and produce a chemical that can cause an allergic reaction. According to Canon, the chemical, zinc bis (N,N’-dimethyldithiocarbamate), is not used in the production of the camera but is a potential by-product of a chemical reaction between other substances found in the hand-grip.

That advisory sounds quite indecent, no wonder many straight shooters are switching to Nikon.
However, if you have two such bodies, you can get an easy White Balance readout.

As a Nikon shooter, I always was allergic to Canons anyway
