I was thinking of buying a Canon 1d Mark 4, used of course, and I asked how many shutter clicks were on the camera. They took a picture and sent it to me. Is there a way to find out from the picture they sent?

I don't see it in the EXIF data.
Normally that's where it's buried.

Didn't see it.
Though I never see it in my EXIF data either.
I had a program that I use.

Does the person live near you? Perhaps you can check it out personally before buying?

Can't find it.
How much is Mr. Corsey selling it for?

The information isn't there. Just use exiftool in linux. It rips everything it can off of a photo.

You can also modify any EXIF data with this tool if you ever need to for any reason. It's quite handy.

did you try this?

I have 50D and it works for me though the program name says it is for 40D only!

I verified the click count and this application is pretty close.

FAQ Item 0:

0) I have a 1D*/5D/10D/20D/30D/50D/300D/350D/400D/450D/1000D. Will the software work with it?
This works on any of the Canon DIGIC III/IV DSLRs except the 1D* series. This means it will work for the 40D, the 50D, the 450D, the 500D, and the 1000D. Thanks to all the 5DMkII users who reported success. As it turns out, you have to power-cycle the 5DMkII before the shutter count value updates itself. It will not work on the 1D*, 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 300D, 350D, and 400D. It's not that I have anything against the owners of those cameras, but simply that the Canon SDK does not support retrieving the shutter count for them.
