There seems to be quite a bit of misconception out there.
What most dont know is that most of the issues of corrosion was due to the owners opening up their camera to either clean, or inspect the ccd close up, as most of us like to do, (Especially if theres a dust molt) but dont follow the righ procedure to make sure to dry it out properly before closing it up.
Others, as mentiond, didnt run the nose piece in front, or the rubber gasket of the chamber was cut/torn, not lined up correctly, allowing air in.
Then, theres where they bought the camera from.
There are some "Unauthorized" sellers, like one in "Hong Kong" that sell either reconditioned, older, or second hand cameras as new. So trying to buy it on the cheap has its potential issues.
Then the complaints surface as mentioned, and then attempts to blame evrything on the manufacturer, so as to get a warranty claim.
I see this all the time here, especially when attempting a claim on grey imports.
The image of the moisture damage shows what can happen, but not how it happened. If this was the norm, you would have thousands of posts with these issues. But we only have the odd issue here and there.
Posting images without true accounts as to how it occured can be misleading. QHY has been here for over 5 years, yet hear of sporadic issues, which says something.
As most out there have stated, they dont have these issues like described earlier. As long as basic procedures are followed, there wont be an issue.
Anyone can always give me an email, or call with any details, or concerns.
Lastly, the factory warranty for the QHY cameras is 3 years, so you have a long, long time to see if any issues arise with your gear. So owners with the above claims would have their gear repaired free, even if they were the cause of the problem in the first place.
