With that said, this only tells you about how the previous owner(s) used the body, and if anything the 150,000 cycle rating is not something set in stone per se. You could have a body with only 1,000 shutter count and have the shutter fail as well. Just use your best judgement Just a soul with a camera

May 23, 2013 21:07 | #3 forget the rating, my 40D shutter died after some 30k shots, it's just a so so benchmark. But if you google 7D shutter count you'll find some ways to see it, with some software and a bit of work. You can't just see it on the menu of the camera on in the EXIF data. 40D, 5D3, a bunch of lenses and other things

oldvultureface Goldmember More info | If you have the opportunity and the 7D has the latest firmware installed, format a CF card in the camera and put Magic Lantern on that card and run the camera's firmware update. The shutter count and live view actuations are shown in one of the menus brought up with the trashcan (delete) key. General information and download link is here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3974
