Pre-purchase metadata check
Check a Used Camera Before Buying
Compare seller-provided claims with identity, date, software, dimensions and model-specific counter metadata that can be read from an original camera file.
Ask the seller for a fresh original file
A newly captured file from the exact camera preserves more evidence than a marketplace preview or an edited export. You can send this request to the seller:
Compare the file with the seller's claims
The file is required. Seller claims are optional, but a claim can only be compared when you enter it. Maximum file size: 128 MiB.
What this check can—and cannot—tell you
Readable evidence, not a verdict
Matching metadata means only that the readable fields do not conflict with the entered claims. Metadata can be absent, stripped or modified.
Counter support is model-specific
PhotoDataLab reports only reviewed camera counters. A missing result is not evidence of low use, and electronic shutter operation may be counted differently.
Inspect the camera in person
This tool cannot prove ownership, legal status, physical condition, shutter health, autofocus, IBIS, sensor condition, battery health or the absence of hidden defects.
Inspect related metadata
Use the Camera Shutter Count Checker for a focused counter result, the EXIF Viewer for a local browser view of ordinary metadata, or the Fujifilm Serial Number Lookup for a model reference. None of these tools verifies a seller or a camera's legal status.
