Camera image number

[snappyfish]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a 7D does the image number relate to actual shots taken for example the one I'm looking at states 8500 so it that 8500 shots since new or can the image number be re-set?

Did a quick Googley - http://astrojargon.net/EOSInfo.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 Apparently this works to get shutter count, but they have excluded some models. Its from a couple years ago so might work. Give it a try if you have the opportunity to do so with your prospective 7D

This is not compatible with 7D

Because most consumers don't think about it.

And to be honest it's a Mostly worthless figure anyway as shutters can fail after one actuation or many many thousands.

Well I'm sure if your buying second hand and you are able to check and camera in question has taken 120'000 Im sure you wont want to pay top money for it.
