Shutter counts 1dmk3

[Jay12329]

I've picked up a new (ex demo) 1dmk3, and I'd like to know how many shots it has taken while it was a demo box.
I can't seam to find a definitive answer to how to find this info on the mk3. I've used 2 exif readers neither of which give me anything like a shutter count.
Can you point me in the right direction (running mac osx)

You can't without sending it to an Offical Canon Service centre

Yep, I agree, you can do that on the 1DMKII but not the MKIII

I think it may be possible but I've only got my own 1D3 to work from and it's always easier to find the answer when you already know it

I'm going to PM you three guys my email address and request a RAW file from you. I'll then take a stab at the shutter count and see if it's close to what you believe it to be....it'll be tomorrow before I get back to you though as it's getting late here in France and it takes a little working out.
