I didn't think there was software that could tell me how many pictures were on my camera. I was wrong. I found some software that works. Fortunatley, I only have 324 images on my camera...

It works with the following cameras only:

40D
50D
Rebel 450D
Rebel 1000D

If anyone is interested, I have a way of getting the number of actuations on a camera by using a hex editor and looking at the embedded data in a raw file. It sounds complicated and is a little. If you want me to do this to your 20D, send me a raw picture.

Also, for those fortunate few (I know none on this site) that have a pro 1-series camera, cancount is a program that will tell you actuation numbers.

Well, ya know one now.

I use a 1DMK3. It's my understanding that "cancount" does not work on the 1DSMk3 or 1DMK3's......only the MK2's and earlier.

I replaced out my body due to some "manufacture defect" LOL

Wow. Sooper has the best camera on the site. You need to start showing off a few images...

Ever try CS3?
Open pic, File, File info, Advanced, Then Aux info should have it.
Needs to be a Jpeg straight from camera.

boneaddict · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2009, 12:40:36 PM »

I just have CS2

Can't do the same with it huh?

It won't work with canon cameras Elkman...

I almost like the idea of the 1.6 crop sensor versus the whole sensor with wildlife. Just out of curiosity as I haven't read all the reviews, what makes the MarkIII worth 3,000

I'm with you Bone, its near impossible to get close enough to those sheep as it is and that's shooting a 600+1.4.

It's weather sealed, pro grade for bumps and bruises, amazing autofocus, and other pro features. Spend your money on lenses. If you aren't sure if you need a 1 series camera, then you don't. You'll know it when you do.

+ 1

I spent a few years with the XXD series cameras and finally hit the spot where I was able to utilize the power of the 1 series. Don't even like picking up my other cameras now.

My "keeper" rate has gone way up, especially in sports. Also, the 1D series is not FF, it's about 1.3x ( I think the MK3 is actually 1.285) The 1DS has the FF sensor. My ram picture in the January photo of the month contest was taken with a 300mm lens, and the pic is barely cropped.

Here's a rodeo I shot last spring. Every shot was at 300mm and wide open at F2.8 Autofocus had no problem keeping up.

Here's a sequence that wouldn't have been possible with my other cameras.
ten shots, one second elasped time. These are almost 4mb files, takes a bit to load.

Full speed, one second real time: http://www.rivercolor.com/images/jumpingcutt.gif

And slowed down 50%. http://www.rivercolor.com/images/jumpingcuttslow.gif

The full size original image files look great. These are drastically reduced to fit the web.

And yes, the camera is heavier, but I weighed both my systems and it only weighs two ounces more than how I used to carry my XXD cameras. ( Battery grip and four batteries). The new 1D series batteries last forever. Depending on the lens used, I've hit 10K frames on one battery before charging and it still wasn't dead yet.

That sucks Sooperfly, two fish..................................and they both missed hooking up

Love the pics

I've been looking at the 1d MII as it has been down to about $1000 lately. With my new shutter I'm sure my camera could get about $750. Much more camera for the money too...

Sooperfly, I really like your rodeo pics. Lots of emotions captured there! My favorite is the bronc in mid air (Rodeo_37), and Rodeo_18

boneaddict · « **Reply #20 on:** January 20, 2009, 06:12:21 AM »

Great stuff sooperfly.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2009, 08:36:52 AM »

I just got to find the right Mark II and figure out how to hide $300 from the budget. I'll ask Bone for pointers...

M_ray · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2009, 09:52:54 AM »

There you go if anyone has it down it's Bone!

boneaddict · « **Reply #23 on:** January 20, 2009, 10:48:06 AM »

I just listened to my lawyer. He said don't spend money on the body, spend it on lens'. In this case a lens.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2009, 02:09:33 PM »

There are definite tradeoffs with between a 1D Mark 2 and a 40D. The 1DM2 has 8 megapixel instead of 10. It is a 1.3x crop factor instead of 1.6x. It is heavier and has a smaller LCD screen. On the plus side, the 1DM2 is a pro body and is weather sealed. The autofocus blows the doors off the 40D. Plus, it is a few more bucks. So which way do you go? It's a toss up really.

DesertBighorn · « **Reply #25 on:** January 22, 2009, 05:48:09 PM »

Go for the 1DMKIIN for a larger LCD!!!

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #26 on:** January 22, 2009, 08:42:13 PM »

You know what's funny, I rarely look at my lcd. Sure, I'll scroll through the photos and check them out when bored but I never use it for critical focus or anything. I can worry about that later on the computer screen. All else equal, I would get the N version if I can here.
