T6i side grip making a odd sound when held firmly?

[TMcArthur]

I bought a T6i a few days ago and received it yesterday. I have yet to even put 50 shots on the camera and I've noticed when I hold the side grip of the camera it makes a tap/creek sound. Almost like the panel is 100% connected.

Is this normal? I know it's nit-picky but it's my first proper DSLR and I want it to be perfect.

It's the same price as the Canon website just without tax. When it arrived it had a warranty paper and verified number in the box. Seemed legit to me. The refund is through so I'm not 100% sure.

Do you advise buying from Canon.com even with the $40 tax and longer shipping? My main thing with Amazon is that I got free 2-day shipping and $40 less on the overall total.

Many of us have been very happy with buying refurbished gear direct from Canon. It comes with a one year warranty and other than a few clicks on the shutter is indistinguishable from new gear.
