Interesting that they did it that way. My E-l has a built-in shutter,
with an external lever, as do a number of other cameras. Knowing the EOS
line and Canon, they may have gone the external cap route to reduce yet
another possible point of entry for dust or moisture, although I would
think sealing a little shaft would be pretty easy.

On my EOS cameras there is a viewfinder cap built into the neckstrap 
for blocking the eyepiece from stray light when your eye is not at the 
camera.  I would imagine the DRebel has the same or an accessory cap 
that came in the box to do the same.  Check the manual for this.
