Wow, that's amazing, thanks. Now the next logical question, what is a good shutter count, what is a bad shutter count, what is the shutter life? Thanks, Bob

When I bid on a camera on ebay, I always get the shutter count first. I've gotten several with under 300 clicks. I'd prefer under 5,000. Before I knew about the shutter count, I bought a D70 that had 44,000 clicks. I sold that and bought another.

Below is too much information.

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info.
Get ExifInfo - also free. Unzip and get the icon onto the Desktop. Find a photo and drag it onto the icon. A window will open with loads of info. Look down the list for Shutter Count (or whatever they call it).

Nikons are good for something like 150,000.

When in doubt look up the individual camera's spec - each camera is different - For Nikon it can range from 100,000 for the D5100 to 400,000 for the D4S

I would have thought that shutter count would have some integer relationship to Image number if the Image numbers have never been reset. Tried this on an older Nikon D60 count is 1.74 times larger than the Image number. Mystery.

I use IrFan View regularly for running scanner, screen captures and quick resizing and file format changes. I don't see shutter count in the EXIF information display.

interesting info got another question for you, I bought a refurbished d5200 from nikon and sent a recent pic to the site you mentioned it stated my shutter count was 187? I assume they reset count when refurbed is that count accurate because of some sort of maintenance they performed or do they simply reset the count?

MY GOOF,

IrFan View EXIF display does show shutter count:
Label: Total Pictures
2nd to last item in file display

I guess I deleted more pictures in the camera than I thought

Remember also, Nikon gives an estimate on life of shutter. Some may go way over, some way less. Like any piece of equipment, you never know. I have seen D3's that had over 500,000 and still working. However, I'm like Jerry, I check the shutter count first. Have been looking at some D3's with shutter count in the 27,000 range. That's low for this type of camera. I would not purchase a D5100, D90, etc. with that much, but the pro camera's are built much tougher and hopefully last longer.

The site mentioned works but not for all cameras because many dslr cameras don't record shutter count.

I have a Canon t3i and the way I do it is to put the photo count on continuous. Each time you shoot the number advances by one so you get a count that way.

The count zero's out at 10,000 so make a note when you reach it and start again.

Most of these dslr cameras are rated to 100,000 before they even need a tune up so it's really not a worry.

My virus checker indicates that eosmsg stand alone Canon shutter count program has a virus Trojan horse Generic.
Be warned
