It has been sent in and I'm getting a new demo. Long since had the most recent firmware update.

So, another update. I just received the camera today, and checked the shutter count right away. It's just a bit over 3,100, which seems extremely high for any just-received demo camera. Who knows how much it was used during that time?

I'm more than a bit concerned. Should I be?

No, that is a low shutter count. The shutter is rated at 150k, and will likely last longer.

My camera is around 8000 shots and if I could reset the counter, you couln't tell it from new and works just like it.
You goota remember that many of these demos are used by people in a showroom and they check out the high speed 5 fps. They really don't have that much use.

That is low, and yeah, people love the sound of the rapid fire clicks. Sounds like a good deal.
