p.1 #2 · shutter count for 20d

Canon XXD series have no shutter value software.
Apparently, the techs in Irvine or Jamesburg can pull it out of somewhere but no software readily available does it.

ok... this means someone has to be honest if he is the second seller who himself doesn't know the actuations.... how you will sell this without knowing actuations....

p.1 #4 · shutter count for 20d

When I bought my 20D new, I never reset the picture folder counter. It would save pictures in groups of 100. If you have always used continous numbering, that would give you an idea. But if you or the other owner did not use continous numbering, then I don't know how you could tell. Not sure if it would be worth it to send it in to tech just for a shutter count.

It's a moot point since they will fail at differnet rates anyways. Some last, some don't. I think most go with general appearance and you won't be too far off. Besides that body is cruising under $400 bucks now anyway.

Hello:

You can read the shutter count in a RAW file with a Hex reader (Hexedit for mac. FI). Just open the file and go to adress 95D and 95E. Read the numbers xx xx in those adresses, and then translate them into decimal format (there are some translators on the web) and you will have the desired number.

Hope it helps

I have not the slightest idea if it works for a 40D/50D, for those bodies try the software in here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930104626AAFi5bl

Hope it helps.

the 20D even when it set at "continous" it will reset its file numbering after 9999... I guess this is useless to depend on.

Excuse me, folks, but yes, please re-read this. The number of shutter cycles is practically irrelevant, much less important than overall condition of the camera.

I would especially look at the condition of the sensor (rather, the filter pack over the sensor) for signs of inept sensor cleaning. Really inept sensor cleaning can also damage the shutter, by the way.

The latest file on my camera reads 416-1693. Since the camera count starts at 100-0001 that means my camera took 31693 shots so far.

It reads all zeroes in a crw from 300D atleast.
