apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | If you have taken that few photos, then chances are good that you never reset the file name counter (rolls over after 10000), thus that will give you an accurate figure. Anders

Nov 01, 2012 00:21 | #6 Thanks for the replies. Now thinking I'll buy new when I buy. What does concern me is that the new firmware was installed last month. Now its for sale.

Probably just me and I don't know when the latest firmware came out but to install it one month and sale it the next might indicate there was an issue the seller was trying to overcome. When the firmware didn't correct it, sell it. Yes I am paranoid. Yes you are paranoid, all 7d owners would have updated the firmware to the latest version, irrespective of whether they were keeping it or selling it 1Dx, 1DM4, 5DM2, 7D, EOS-M, 8-15L, 17-40L, 24 TSE II, 24-105L, 50L, 85L II, 100L, 135L, 200L f/2.8, 300L f/4, 70-200L II, 70-300L, 400Lf/5.6

If I were selling my 7D the first thing I would do is make sure I have the latest firmware to make it more attractive to a potential buyer.

It didn't effect the click count. Also anyone who looks after their Camera would take this upgrade as it improves the camera's features/ Many I don't personally care about but there are some good one. SO I would not worry on that score. Also as a prospective buyer I would like to see that the camera could 'take' the latest firmware. As that in itself is a good test all is well!

The new Firmware 2.0 increases the RAW buffer capacity by a decent amount. That alone is worth the free update. SOSKIphoto
