You mean that some twits managed to burn a hole through the metal 
shutter in the EOS RT or EOS-1n RS, or just the cloth shutter curtain on 
an older FD mount slr (this is also a problem with cloth FP shutter RF 
cameras: Leica, Canon, Zorki, Fed, etc)?
The same damage sould be happening to almost all P&S digicams today 
(instead it would be the sensor getting burned), as the sensor is always 
exposed to allow live-view on the LCD and/or EVF.
