A Request for K20 owners that use Photome
Not sure if it proves anything but I bought mine in either March or April this year and mine say 03/03/2008. Of more concern to me is that for the picture I chose - being one of the last I have taken on the camera it gives a shutter count of 2693 but the image number is 0028 having just gone over 10,000 images

Unlikely I think.

PentaxBabe mine is the same the shutter count is about 600 more than I have taken.
thanks again Karl
I don't understand the shutter count. John941, are you saying you only took two shots from new and already it showed up as 5008? Are they not set to zero at 'birth' then?!

I've taken 37 pics but the shutter count is 275.
What's going on.
Maybe Pentax test the cameras before sending them out

To be honest I'd be very disappointed if they didn't test them thoroughly.
Joining the Q
A couple of hundred shots isn't going to hurt really, they may be from "test shots" at the dealer. I know when I've tried bodies at dealers I have always (after asking) released the shutter a few times. These bodies would be sold "as new" I'm sure so that may explain it.

The reason for this is I have a K20 purchased May this year and photome reports the manufacture date as 24/02/2008 which seams odd to me
Thanks Karl
