I bought a new Canon T1i this month from Adorama through Amazon. It started numbering my shots at around 1800. Does that sound like a new camera? It came in what looked like a new box with warranty, manual etc and all packed nicely. Thanks for your help.

That doesn't sound right. You can always start re-numbering on the card itself and there are various ways to goof around with file numbering. So there may or may not be any direct correlation between FILE NUMBER and SHUTTER ACTUATIONS.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, but Adorama is well known for their customer service so if it really bugs you , send it back and ask for a REAL new one.

sounds to me like you used a memory card that had not been reformatted first? often, that will cause the camera to start with the last number it finds in the memory card's record.

That was exactly what I was about to write! But of course, the OP is most welcome to email me directly for after-sales support: Helen@adorama.com

Take a photo and run it through EXIF VIWER. You can download it for your camera from the 'net' Just Google it. That should tell you for sure.

Weems has best answer for you. Exif data on the shutter trips can not be changed like file numbers can. Also it is not unknown that manufacturers trip the camera, so contact Canon and see what the policy is. 1800 is high for any mfg quality control.

Canon does not record Shutter Actuations in EXIF. You must send the camera to a Canon Repair facility for it to be extracted from the innards of the camera somewhere.

You can go to this site to download a PC program to get the shutter count off any Canon EOS 40D or later, except 1D.
http://astrojargon.net/EOSInfo.aspx
Most of the EOS line 40D or later is spec'd at 100,000 to 150,000 actuations. You can find this buried in the specs for the cameras on the Canon site.

Exposure not quite right and/or consistent, flash sync problems, etc. Mostly, though, a sore shutter finger, too full computer drives, bad eyes from reviewing too many pics, ...
