A new camera from the box should be totally new, like 0 acutations.
Canon mass produces their camera and therefore does not test every camera as it rolls of the line. The ones they do test get reset i heard anyway so people cannot tell.
Mine was all sealed in the box, and I saw it come out of a sealed Canon 'outer' box. No one at the shop had chance to play with it. It had 22 clicks on it.
Thanks Chris, Dave, I guess it varies. So I guess under 100 is kinda expected and I shouldn't be getting one with more clicks than that.
By the way Dave, did you use any software to get an accurate count? Or was it just a matter of slapping on a memory card and taking a shot to find out?
