How to check the shutter count on the Canon EOS 2000D
The shutter count is the number of photos a camera has taken. It's the first thing to check before you buy a used Canon EOS 2000D, and worth adding to your listing when you sell one.
How to check the shutter count on the Canon EOS 2000D
- This Canon doesn't store the count in its photos, so we read it from the camera over a USB cable.
- On a Windows computer, download our program. On a Mac, Linux or Android, use Chrome or Edge.
- Connect the camera, switch it on and click “Read the count” or “Connect to camera”.
Canon EOS 2000D shutter life

What shutter count is high on the Canon EOS 2000D
| Shutter count | Rating |
|---|---|
| up to 25,000 shots | Low |
| 25,000 to 60,000 shots | Medium |
| over 60,000 shots | High |
This is a rough guide: a shutter can fail earlier or last much longer than its typical life.
What else to check on a used Canon EOS 2000D
- Sensor: one photo of the sky and one with the body cap on show dust and dead pixels.
- Autofocus: a few photos of the AF test chart show whether the lens focuses in front of or behind the target.
- Viewfinder, mirror and focusing screen: scratches, marks and dust you see in the viewfinder but not in photos.
- Lens mount and contacts: play with a lens attached, dirty or bent contacts.
- Card slot, doors, rubber grips and hot shoe: looseness, cracks and signs of a drop.
- Battery: does it last for a few dozen shots.
