Hi All -


I'm curious if anyone knows a way to get the shutter count out of the 5D; the actual number of activations. (the 5D original)


I do not want to return this beauty (it's in superb condition - love you Canon owners![Y]) but B&H gives you 2 weeks to return practically anything you buy from them. So it would be nice to know how many activations this body has, to complete the evaluation before the 2 weeks is up...


In any case - man oh man what a difference from the 40D! Naturally there's good and bad but the good is so good...the VF is shockingly bright and the 17-40 - I nearly dropped the camera when I saw what 17mm really looks like.


Now if I can just learn to make good pictures I'll be all set. [:P]


Thanks for any thoughts you care to share...!


(btw there's a great program for the 40D if anyone needs that - it works
perfectly on mine - but unfortunately it's not able to get the 5D
shutter count. Here's the link for the 40D app: http://astrojargon.net/EOSInfo.aspx
There's also a Mac version.)
