Im thinking he did not properly cover the camera, purely because I did the same thing with my ST10.. I didnt properly cover it, and I got a leak through the side of the shutter that looked much the same as the leak he has, considering that in a dark environment he did not have this problem, my next method of figuring out where the leak is would be to properly cover the nose piece using a metal cover, failing that, the standard cap with al-foil covering it.. I dare say this will have the same affect as using the camera in a darkened environment. If not, then the body of the camera has a light leak, which wouldnt be so great I agree.. However being that I've had what is practically an identical problem in the past that turned out to be my fault, Im not so quick to jump up and down saying "ooh look at the problems this camera has" just yet..
