If I recall correctly, Artoftheimage stated that the T2i/T3i is rated at 100k actuations whereas the 7D was rated at 150K.

@Kennykid2002 do you know which video that is that Marty did, I would like to watch it.

If u upload a photo into flickr, in the exif info bottom it says the image number and thats the shutter actuations

[drumat5280]

@HarilandeR i just tried looking at one of my Flickr meta exif data and I could not locate it. What is it under?

[HarilandeR]

@drumat5280

Image Number 19747

Approximate Focus Distance 3.35

Color Transform YCbCr

these are the last 3 lines in the exif data..

I'm shooting with Nikon dslr so I dont know if thats a factor :(

[drumat5280]

@HarilandeR my image number shows 0, I wonder if that is because I use Lightroom before uploading.

When you mentioned using magic lantern for timelapses and not having the shutter actuate, how do you set that up?

@toms1311 What camera do you have, 40D? That doesn't work on my 7D or 5D :(

[Virgo17th]

When you say "5D" do you mean 5D or do you mean 5D Mark II???

[toms1311]

The 'EOSInfo' utility worked a treat for me! From astrojargon(dot)net.

@finalhourr my flickr info says 20606 so in my case it doesnt reset :)

[finalhourr]

@HarilandeR it resets after 10k images...so that's useless...

@VBransonDesigns :: Export your 1080p footage in .mp4 format using these settings:

1920x1080, 23.976 fps, 1 Pass, Target bitrate 20 Mbps, Max bitrate 24 Mbps. These are my premiere pro settings and the quality comes out very nice. By doing this, you really increase the file size, however, the quality will be very good. You can try lowering target bitrate to 10Mbps and max bitrate to 12Mbps for smaller file size. I use these settings (20 Mbps) for my videos in my channel.

@BigShanksProductions I have the same problem when loading to a website. Looks great on my desktop but when I load to the web all my pics are darker. Did you get any resolution? It was suggested by some people that it may me one of the following: 1) Compression on the website 2) check and make sure I am using SRGB 3) my monitor may be very bright and thus I could darken it for post production in Lightroom so that the images come out brighter when placed on the web.
