As such, the shutter mechanism is rated for a high number of actuations, or shutter count, before it is expected to fail or require repair. : New firmware version 1.4.1 is available for EOS R3 Answer (1 of 5): The Canon 5D Mark III is a professional-grade DSLR camera that is designed to last for many years of use. Such cameras come with a one-year guarantee that helps protect the buyer from failures due to unsuspected problems. My suggestion would be that if you're going to spend important money on a used camera, it should be a certified refurb from Canon's online store. Since you're new to cameras and therefore probably don't know what to look for, buying just any used camera, even one with a provably low shutter count, is a dangerous gamble. In any case, a high shutter count is only one of quite a number of problems that can exist in a used camera. There are programs that claim to be able to read the shutter count, but Canon does not stand behind them. If it means that much to you, limit yourself to sellers who can document the shutter count with a certification from Canon. You can't send it to Canon, but the person trying to sell it to you can. Is there any way to check the shutter count myself during inspection for purchase. Can't send it to Canon with out purchasing it.
