If they are then it’s probably obvious such as an old model 1 Series being bought from an hard working Professional or an old camera being bought as more of a collector’s item, than a tool for photography, like my EOS D30, for example.Īlso the Shutter Count of itself doesn’t have that much meaning beyond statistics: for example a shutter might be “rated” for 50,000 actuations, but there’s not much information on when shutters actually are likely to die and as far as I understand the “rating” is NOT quantified by data of dead shutters – but rather it is a TR&D Tab Test. I think that most DSLR’s which are sold second hand are not anywhere near 80,000 or 100,000 actuations. ![]() My view is, generally the need to know the Shutter Count is pointless and the pre-occupation with knowing it, is somewhat amusing. Even if this is a three year old thread it is an attitude worth discussing today.I concur. I find this pre-occupation with shutter count rather amusing and pointless. ![]()
