Shutter Count is the number of times a camera's shutter curtain has operated. It's comparable to a car's mileage and is used to assess the camera's past usage.
Why is it important?
The shutter unit has a limited lifespan. Once a certain number is reached, it may start having problems and require replacement, which incurs costs. Knowing this value helps assess the price and risk.
How to check
Checking methods vary by camera brand. For example, by viewing the latest JPEG image file via an EXIF checker website or using model-specific software. The easiest way is to ask the seller to show you the value.
Levels to consider
This number is a rough guideline, not a strict rule: Below 10,000 is considered very low, 10,000–50,000 is normal usage, and over 100,000 should prompt a reasonable price consideration and further inquiry into its history.
Many camera models at 247IT2U have their Shutter Count specified on the product page. If you want to know the Shutter Count for any specific model, feel free to inquire via Line.
