I am selling a used 1Ds Mark II, which is a USA model bought new from Dell in Dec. '06, and several prospective buyers have asked me how many "actuations" are on the camera. I sent them a file to review with their "cancount" software, and they claim it says there are 51k actuations. Looking at my Lightroom archive metadata browser, I've only got about 20k images taken with that camera serial number. This stands to logic because it also says I have 39k images shot in all of 2007, and I shoot two cameras at once and rarely throw anything away.
I have since discovered there is a way to browse the shutter count in the advanced section of the file info in PS. Looking at the first shot I took with the camera, it starts about about 30k. The camera was certainly new out of the box- no way it would look new if someone before me had taken 30,000 pics with it!!
Has anyone else run into this? Does Canon not start their counter at 0?
