Suppose you had two identical Crown Vics on a car lot. You car analogy is a good one but it requires you know the history of the car/camera to be of any real help. However, you have a false sense of trust in shutter count numbers. "For me it is a peace of mind and I just like knowing."
For me it is a peace of mind and I just like knowing. Now, the odometer may not be accurate either because it could have been broke for over a year (yes, I had a friend who took over a year to get the odometer fixed, while driving over 100 miles a day to and from work).Īgain a million scenarios both ways. You check the odometer reading, and find out it has 200,000 miles on it. It's like buying a used car that has been parked in a garage everyday and washed weekly and waxed fregquently. For me, it is a peace of mind to know I've the best research I can before purchasing a used camera, and I have strong idea of what I am getting into. I know a million scenarios where this won't hold up, yet there are another million scenarios where it does hold up.
You take it in to Canon service center and find out it has 300,000 shutter clicks and needs a new shutter, remember you paid fair market value, now you have to pay to have the shutter replaced, you overpaid for the used camera. However I disagree that the "shutter count is of little to no value anyway".Ĭonsider your buying a used camera which appears to be excellent condition and rarely used, you pay fair market value for a camera that was rarely usedt, it fails two weeks later after one photo shoot. Ebiggs1, I agree that the only way to get a true accurate count is via Canon Service.
