Does anyone know if it's possible to shutter count on the 70d canon what is a good shutter count before buying a second hand camara

Anyone can download the manual of any camera and read about
the features specific to any given model.
 
AFAIK the 70D is rated at 100,000 MTBF and EOScount is able to read the count on the body. Oh, MTBF is a bit like the 1in200 year flood protection i.e. it the event of failure could happen any time in those 200 years or more than once in the 200 years.............it does not mean it will be 200 years before there is a flood that beats the barriers, thus 100,000 clicks MTBF could still result in a shutter failing at 10,000 clicks or not until 300,000 clicks.

As for what is a good count when buying second hand................how long is a piece of string? IMO do not just go by shutter count, also consider the overall appearance as to how hard a life it has had. Buying second hand will always have an element of the gamble in it!

HTH :)
 
also be aware that its an average - a shutter rated for 100,000 can fail before 50k or go onto 200k just as easily
 
Did you get your shutter count?
