EOS R50 Shutter Count?

[kionlua]

I recently bought my wife a refurbished R50 directly from Canon’s website. When I gave it to her she asked what the shutter count was? After some research online I tried uploading an image to a few websites that advertised providing the shutter count with photo data and the websites stated that the image didn’t have the data. I also tried downloading the EOS program from Canon’s website and couldn’t find it there either. Am I missing something?

I have read that the shutter count for the R50 and R100 is 100K firings, but I do not have the link handy to back that up. Assuming what I'm saying is true that is far more firings than the intended customer will shoot in 10 years. On a tangent, I'm a skeptic of refurbished anything and haven't been swayed by refurbished products that aren't that much cheaper. That's a personal bias and perhaps irrational, but I'm OK with it. And when I say much cheaper, I'm talking 40-50% cheaper with a full warranty. THEN I might gamble, but my skepticism would at least be assuaged by a much lower price.

"I'm a skeptic of refurbished anything ..."

LeeP,

I, too, have doubts about most refurbs but the Canon refurbs are somewhat different. You get the very same warranty as otherwise new gear. In fact what you get may be new gear. From the examples I have seen I couldn't tell them form new.

I've looked at the refurbished offerings, but I'd need a substantial price reduction from brand new and the prices--for me at least--aren't amazing, but to each his own most decidedly.
