Anybody else hear a slight rattle in t3i?

I noticed my t3i, has a slight rattle when you shake it a little. I thought it was the lens, then removed it, then tried the battery grip. From there, I tried to isolate it, but couldn't. It doesn't sound like the mirror, but to the rear left of the cam. Wondering if it's the way the strap mount is integrated in to the body. Can a t3i owner try it and post back? thanks

So I bought it at bestbuy a few weeks ago, anyone ever deal with returning a cam to them? I hate bestbuy as it is. But if they try to get me to pay a restocking fee, I will never buy from them again.

Yep, mine rattles too. Different rattles depending
on which plane you rattle it on. Consider it a
feature. You can use it as a musical instrument
when your not taking pics and vids.

Thanks man, Seems it's just the cam then, I don't remember my t2i rattling at all. Oh well.

might be the flash hinge mechanism - not a problem in other words

Maybe there are miniature DVXs inside.

It's a FAQ for the DSLR's... the only cameras that don't get this question are the 1D, 1Ds and 5D, because they don't have a built-in flash.
