Just wanted to share something odd that happened with my EOS-M. It arrived on Friday at work. I pulled an SD card out of a work camera to play with it at lunch. I am pretty sure I accidentally took a shot by touching the screen before reformatting the work SD card. I then took it with me on a weekend trip to see my wife's family. In reviewing the pictures Saturday, I noticed that the file numbers were greater than 2800. I thought this was odd as every other camera I have bought started with "0" and I had only taken ~30-50 shots with the EOS-M by the time I noticed. I became concerned that my EOS-M was "used" even though everything else made it seem like it was brand new (packaging, entering time-date, etc). I emailed B&H (used the last of my credits to help buy the EOS-M) and they got back to me with a very bland email response saying that I likely received a "previously used" unit. I say very bland as there was no apology, to real effort on their behalf, considering if what they said was correct, they had sent me a used camera body when I had paid for a new one.....but I no longer think that is what happened. Arriving at work again today, I found the last photos taken on that work SD card, the file number ended with IMG-2781. I also found the first photo that I kept taken with the reformatted work SD card on the EOS-M: IMG-2786. As I had fired off a few other shots that had been deleted (I kept one of a co-workers dog). So, I am now thinking that the EOS-M matched the file counter number to the photos still on the work SD card because I accidently took a shot before reformatting the card. Odd, never expected something like this to happen, so I thought I'd share....
