Going to purchase a second hand 5d mark ii on Sat (tomorrow). I'm taking my laptop to plug in and check the shutter count. The person I'm buying from asked me how to do this so I pointed them in the direction of the software I used to achieve this. They got back to me an hour later and it showed a low shutter count of 5.5k. However, I noticed tonight looking at the screen shot they sent me that the date of the shutter count on the Eos Info was dated 2013!!
Alarm bells ringing obviously. I tried to check the properties of the picture they sent and everything points to the fact it was actually taken yesterday.
This person also sent me a fresh photo they took using the mark ii. 10mb in size. I have just checked the mets data using Lightroom and it tells me that picture was also taken in 2013......however I know for a fact it wasn't because I made them take a picture of my email conversation I sent them yesterday (see how clever I am there! Brucy points for me).
This has led me to think that the dslr time stamp has either been set up wrongly from new, never set up at all?
Any thoughts before I part with my cash? Meeting them at 2pm so hence the urgency on this as the deal is too good to pass
