->> In round numbers, there are about 31,000,000 seconds in a year. In other words, it would take over 5 years to shoot 160,651,056 photos if you took one photo every second of every day during those five years.
So, possible? Sure. How possible? About the same as me shooting something that will make the cover of SI this year. |

| ->> What you're having is an integer conversion problem with your EXIF software, which is also causing the software to read the serial number as being negative. Try checking with Photoshop's file info? |

->> Mark,
I just did that and it says still more than a million images were shot:
1042463
I thought my old D2X had a lot at about 375,000 before I replaced it but a Rebel? |

->> Debra - Like Israel said, it is a 16-bit integer (I think) that needs to be converted. What a 16-bit interger means I have absolutely no idea, I was an English major.
I had a Mark IIN, which told me the camera had about 32,000 actuations. Converted that translated to 164,000 actuation. I used http://www.camerashuttercount.com/, though I'm not sure the Rebel series is supported. It might be worth a try though. It does not appear the camera list is current. It might give you a more accurate count depending on whether or not it is using a 16-bit integer. |

->> Canon has made it nearly impossible to tell the number of actuations with third-party software. You pretty much need to have a certified technician look at it for them to have the proper software to read it.
The programs are either pulling a non-properly processed number from the camera or they are simply pulling the wrong number.
Most programs (Photoshop and PM) when looking at the MarkIII and Mark IV do not even return a number for actuations. At least not the last time I tried to find it and did some searching on how to get it. |

->> "Canon has made it nearly impossible to tell the number of actuations with third-party software. You pretty much need to have a certified technician look at it for them to have the proper software to read it."
Based on my conversation with canon technicians this true. According to the tech I spoke with in New Jersey, the camera keeps two separate actuation counts. One is for the body and the other is for the shutter only.
Thinking out of the box for a moment. The XTi shoots video, which makes me wonder if frames shot in video mode are also being included in the actuation count. In that case, if my math is correct (it wasn't my best subject in high school) the 1,042,463 number would only be 9 hours of recorded video at 30fps, which seems like an easily attainable number. |
