This is my trusty “old” Canon DSLR which has served me well. It still has quite a bit of life left in it, I would guess that it has around 30,000 shutter actuations, which isn’t too bad. I think it’s supposed to last for 100,000 – 150,000. If you’re really interested, I can find out the exact count, but it costs $1.79, so I’m not going to do it unless you really NEED to know.
I’m getting rid of all my Canon mount lenses, which include:
- The basic kit lens, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
- A Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens
- My newest lens, the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM Lens

Yes, actually I am! @tjons had asked me about selling on this thread, so I created this post to show what I had. He hasn’t contacted me yet, so I’m still waiting!
I have a Canon T3 too, and I was wondering if the upper right number on the menu where we can view our photos we took is the number of shutter actuations? Example: my T3 has the number 5668. If I take a picture, it will go to 5669 and if I delete it and take another picture, the number will be 5670.
Well, in the best case scenario, yes, that would be the number of actuations. However, that would only be true if you’ve never reset the file number naming sequence. Also, once you hit 9999, then it will roll over and start at 0001 again. If you know that you have taken over 10,000 pictures, then you have to add 10,000 to the number to get the total number of shots.
To get an “official” number you can go to http://eoscount.com/ and pay $1.79 to find out for sure. (Note that you’ll have to use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for it to work correctly)
@buddingphotographer, first of all, amazing product shot!
I don’t think I would interested at this point; my current equipment is ver similar.
Thank you for posting.
Thank you! I opted for a ‘natural’ background for the camera shot after trying for hours to try to figure out how to shoot cameras and lenses with a pure white background. I finally did get a shot of the lens that I liked, but I knew the camera would be a lot harder, so I compromised. 🙂
Now if I would have just searched for a tutorial before I spent a whole lot of time on it… I didn’t even get a chance to try it the way the tutorial suggested, but someday, I’ll find some large reflectors/diffusers and try it out.You’re welcome! Hopefully there’s someone else who needs some Canon equipment!
