Keep in mind that Canon has changed how and whether the shutter count can be obtained. Some 'reader software' can work with DIGIC versions w to y, but not z. Refer to any available documentation for the candidate software and assure your specific EOS model is clearly listed before paying for anything, even a small payment.

The corresponding webpage looks promising, as this app is for Canon, Nikon, and Sony. A specific camera compatibility chart is provided.
Have you actually employed it yourself, billnikon? I presume that if so, you tested it only on Nikon models.

Hey, hoggers - please recommend a free/inexpencive shutter count program for Canon - Thanks in advance.
I am a Nikon user so I can't speak to Canon with authority, but on Nikons the shutter count is part of the metadata file. If you take a picture and then drag and drop the file on a website such as
http://myshuttercount.com/ or
http://metapicz.com/#landing you can find the shutter count if your camera records it in the metadata.

Canon doesn't store it there. period.

Canon does not embed the shutter count in the EXIF data.
I agree eoscount.com but the last time I used the service it was $2.29. Tried others with little success for my cameras. I don't mind paying a small fee each time. Just how often do you really need to check your shutter count? I only do when I decide to sell.

It isn't found in Canon EXiF data.

I think we just read a "cyber echo".
