LensRentals received its first Canon EOS Rebel T6s/760D and T6i/750D units and has identified a sensor problem with a number of those cameras. Out of about 10 copies of each model, 6 contained sensors with noticeable defects in their sensor stacks. These layers of glass on top of the sensor contain a pattern of dust-like spots or particles that are visible when studied under angled (rather than direct) light.
What looked at first like a pattern of dust on top of the sensor revealed itself to be defects within the layers of glass that are layered right on top of the chip. LensRentals’ Roger Cicala reports that the effects of the problem can be seen from about f/11 to f/16, and will appear against a white background or clear sky. However, images taken at wider apertures didn’t display the issue.
Cicala reports that Canon is aggressively looking into the issue and that it’s being taken seriously by the manufacturer.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
