  • Canon EOS Info ?

    From Abandoned Trolley@that.bloke@microsoft.com to rec.photo.digital on Sat Jun 6 17:13:37 2026

    Does anybody know where I can download a usable copy of EOSInfo, or any
    other utility which will tell me the shutter count of my EOS 50D ?

    I just want to get an idea so that I can sell the thing on eBay ..

    OK cancel that ...


    Just discovered that CanonEosDigitalInfo and canon-eos-digital-info are
    2 completely different things :-\

    I can't speak for Canon, but I know that Nikon embeds shutter count in
    the EXIF.

    [joe@myserver 20260526Misc]$ exiftool DSC_0033.JPG | grep -i shutter
    Shutter Mode : Auto (Mechanical)
    Mechanical Shutter Count : 33
    Shutter Count : 33

    That's from a new Z50 ii.

    I am told that the EOS 50D predates that "standard" - and that no
    current Canon software provides that function.


    Anyway, the problem is now solved and I will be putting my "low shutter
    count" camera on eBay today
