Canon 30d Camera

The seller told me that 30D canon camera is brand new 100%. Going back home I took 40 or 50 shots and put the CF to card reader to transfer images to PC. When I connected to PC and opened and what I saw was DCIM folder, then I opened that folder I saw "876CANON" folder and when opened "876 CANON" folder I saw the images. I wonder if the "876CANON" folder is the continuous numbered folder that the camera has been counting? Why it is not 100CANON folder as others camera but it is 876CANON folder? Is it true that the camera has shot to the folder of 876? I read in the manual instruction book: the camera initially starts from folder 100 to folder 999 and each folder has 0001 to 9999 files. So, I bought a second hand camera? Please tell me how to check the camera to see how many folders and files it has shot. In this case I think I was cheated to buy a non brandnew camera, it's a second hand camera. Please tell me how to check it to know how much shots it has taken. Many thanks from me.

I have Canon 5D, and I think it is similar to yours, the way it records files. Looking at the manual (downloaded from www.canoneos.com), on page 70, it says the file number, up to 9999 images, are saved in one folder, that is automatically numbered from 100 to 999.

I wonder what your setting (under MENU, under FILE NUMBERLING) is. Is it "continuous", or "auto reset", or "manual reset".

My camera always save its files (I shoot RAW) in "100eos5d" folder (under "dcim" folder).

I am very sorry I cannot be more helpful. I couldn't figure out how to see (via its menu) to see how many shots it has taken. Does anyone know? I am not sure why your folder is called xxxCanon either.

I'd like to know the best place to purchase a EOS 30D camera, whether online or at stores, that is affordable and reliable. Thank you.

If you see an on-line deal that just seems too good to be true, check the seller at http://www.resellerratings.com

Locally, a real camera store (one that only sells cameras, not 10,001 other things and cameras) would be your best choice. Most camera stores will offer you an hour or so of hands-on instruction with your purchase. Plus, you'll have someone to talk with face to face when you have questions or problems.

I plan on going to college to become a photgrapher and i really want this camera but i cant find it anywhere and i was hoping to get a used one for cheaper. Please.

You will have plenty time to get a hold of one as most college courses in photography start with 35mm standard film cameras.
You could try one of the auction sites for a second hand one.
Good Luck

I have a sandisk CF memory card for my Canon 30d SLR camera and it appears that after I view my pics through a sandisk card reader, my camera can not view the pics when i insert the memory card back into the camera. It would say no images on the view screen but if you look at the allocation display screen on the top, it would indicate that memory has been used. How would I be able to view those pics on my camera again?

Did you either modify the pics, or move them from their original folders on the card? Insert your card in your reader. Look for a folder on the card labeled DCIM. Within this folder should be at least one other folder labeled with a number immediately followed by the word Canon (example "146Canon"). Your pictures should be stored within these "Canon" folders in order for your camera to recognize them.
