Re: Photography Thread
Saw something that interested me yesterday. There was a thread somewhere in Flickr in the D70 group about
"how many shutter activations does your D70 have?" Well that's what everyone wants to know, right,
how long their used DSLR is gonna last? Or how many photos have been taken on that camera you have had
forever. Different programs read EXIF data differently, and other programs mess with your data when you
save a file inside their environment. But the SURE way to find out was interesting. Take a photo straight out
of the camera and upload it to Flickr. Then read the EXIF data. And for the D70 at least, it gives you the
shutter count to date on your camera. It did NOT work with my "new" D100. Or I wasn't paying attention.
The EXIF data is part of the "actions" menu for individual photos in Flickr.
