Aluminum does not rust, But it can corrode, I wonder if the battery is leaking?
I bought them new from two different people, that would suck if it was the battery. Can anyone else check theres and report back
The last photo you posted shows the yellow colour appearing on both your cameras in the identical locations under the middle of the front of the camera and near one corner at the front, correct? I'd be getting in touch with BMD immediately and forward that photo (or a better photo showing both camera's bottoms together) as it certainly indicates a potentially dangerous problem. I've no idea if the battery could leak there but what is in that location? When you take the lenses off and shine a light in that area, can you see anything on the inside of the camera? Or take the fan cover off and can you see anything?
Do you also see any residue or discolouration on your tripod head or other mounting plates where the camera was mounted? Do you know if the mounting plate metal or metal coating is affected?
