Yup, Sharp ... exactly my feelings, too ...

APS-C, preferably ... although, I have been known to use a bridge, occasionally ...

But, not a ONE of the 11 bridges I have, could EVER be considered "pocketable" ...

Switch to cargo pants and you'll have loads more choices.

Thank you. I have been using eosmsg for some time now for my older cameras, but it did not work for the 5D4. Perhaps I need to get a newer version which may have been updated for the newer cameras. Thanks for the tip.

A rhetorical question. What is Canon so uptight about. Are they afraid of photographers knowing shutter counts?

Perhaps it helps them sell maintenance services if you have to send your camera in to get a shutter count.

Thanks so much for posting all the links. The Dire Studio web site says it needs a Mac OS for the 5D4. I'll try and get in touch with them to see if they have a newer version for Windows. I already have eosmsg and eosinfo which I use for older bodies. They don't work with the 5D4.

The shutteractuations.com seemed to only list expected shutter counts for various models. I don't know if they can alctually read the count of a particular camera.

Thanks again for your help.

When I checked with Canon, they said they could tell me the shutter count only as part of a $129 maintenance service. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/canon-maintenance-service/!ut/p/z1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfIjo8zifQM9LDw8nQ18DHyCnQwcA0xDXdydzfzNPMz0w8EKDHAARwP9KGL041EQhd_4cP0oNCuCLM0NHM1czDws_ZwMzHzN8SvwDDTFUBDmZAJUYOnibGzkBrIGqgCPKwpyQyMMMj3TAQ4v-5E!/#eosdigitalslr

Since my camera is less than 6 months old, I don't really think it needs this service.

Yep, that's the program I use as well. Works on all of my bodies, and I use Windows 10.

Do you also use it for the 5D4? According to their website http://www.direstudio.com/shuttercount/tech-specs/#cameras to us it on the 5D4 you ne d the Mac OS.

I have been able to get the shutter count for my 5div from the Shutter Count app from Dire studios. I have a Mac but they have a version for Windows too. It does cost a few bucks.

Thanks for the info. Their website says that for the 5D4 it only works for the Mac OS. http://www.direstudio.com/shuttercount/tech-specs/#cameras

I'm hoping the documentation on their web is out of date. I'll check with their tech support tomorrow.

Thanks again.

5D4 shutter actuations

Does anyone know if it is possible to find out the number of shutter actuations for a 5D Mark IV? (I use a Windows OS). Many of the programs online, and in previous threads, do not work with the digic 6 processor. I also read that Canon introduced firmware limitations in its newest cameras so that the shutter actuation reading is not supported any more.

So you are a Nikon/Canon/Sony/Whatever guy. But why?

I've enjoyed reading this forum for a while, but this is my first post.

Most of us are "committed" to one brand (Canon, Nikon, Sony, or whatever), because over the years we have accumulated a lot of equipment from that manufacturer. Also, perhaps to a lesser extent, because the layout and menus don't challenge our comfort zone. What I'm curious about is how/why did you originally choose the brand you did?

In my case it was total ignorance. Back in the '80s I lived in England, and was visiting NYC as a tourist. I had a cheap point and shoot which was stolen from my hotel room. We passed a camera shop and I thought I'd pop in and buy another cheap point and shoot. The salesperson convinced me to buy an SLR, and I walked out with a Canon TX. When the digital age dawned, I briefly switched to a Kodak since DSLRs were then outside my price range. When Canon introduced the Digital Rebel and priced it at $999, I jumped back to Canon. Since then I've had the 20D, 50D, and finally graduated to the 5D. Strangely, I've never even considered switching brands when its time to upgrade!

What's your story?

Canon USA customer service

I am guessing that Canon has been burned too many times from credit card fraud/identity theft and is trying to cut down on losses from such.

Perhaps they should subcontract their sales website to B&H, Adorama, or someone who knows what they are doing.
