How to Check if K-5 is new?

bubba911t · 03-29-2012, 02:57 PM

Just the other day I came across a thread on here about a way to check if your K-5 is new in terms of shutter actuations and the date it was built. This website has a way to do that? Can anybody tell me how to get there? Thanks!

You might like to pickup photome also... PhotoME - Exif, IPTC & ICC Metadata Editor

It gives this information and much more...

Thanks, guys...I'm shot #1 on my K-5 and it was manufactured on 1/25/12. Thanks again!

I just bought one too. Will use the software to make sure that it was manufactured recently and the shutter count is 0. I couldn't pass up a great deal at Abe's of Maine. It was $935 with a coupon. Can't wait to get it and my trusty white K-x with 12000+ shutter counts can take a rest!!! :-)
