Here it goes, I noticed yesterday, what seems to be a loose part inside my camera's body!
At first, I thought it was the lens cap, which is looks like to be a bit loose, but it isn't. Even without the lens, it makes this funny noise.
The camera works just fine, no problem at all. But I'm a bit worried, in case there really is a loose part. I've never dropped the camera, or either hit it. It's always housed inside it's bag and stuff.
It still is under warranty.
Should I just send it back in to the store and have then take a look at it?

Is the rattling around the flash when it's down? If so,
I think that's normal in the Rebel.

probably the flash.

I might be mistaken, but I read somewhere that the newer canon consumer dslrs have an orientation sensor that judges whether the shot is vertical or horizontal that might ratlle...

I can't seem to find out from what part of the camera the rattling sound comes from.
I've posted it at some other forum, and ppl said it's the sensor that tells the camera if it's on the horizontal or vertical position.
Does this information sound correct to you?

flip on the flash and shake your camera. If it's gone, it's the flash unit, which is normal to rattle.
