The fix couldn't have cost more than a couple of Yen, you'd think that
they would have noticed the problem in testing and just instituted the
fix from the beginning.

Canon did acknowledge the 5Diii light leak problem (and put some black
tape inside to fix it:

the way they handled this was a major failure on the part of the
marketing department. Imagine what could have been: "The new Canon 5D
Mark III, now with a built-in incident light meter!"

Didn't some K-5s have this problem as well?
Just further proof that in the modern world final quality control is the end
user. Ricoh will fix the problem eventually.
Nikon is finally admitted the oil splatter issue with the D600. Though I
don't know if Canon ever admitted that there was a problem with the top
display backlight, (caused metering problems), on one of their full frame
models. Every manufacturer seems to have these issues. The Pentax problem
seems to be in the programming as the mirror box on the K-3 is supposed to
be a new design. The Nikon a bad run of shutters, the Canon a design issue.
I think I'd rather have the software issue, it's easier to fix.
