For a Canon EOS DSLR, much of the replies so far are wrong, misleading, or off onto unrelated nonsense. In the old, pre 2006 days, Canon did store the shutter count in the EXIF like Nikon has. Then, until around 2018, the value was in the camera and you needed some software to access that value. Still newer cameras have the value in the camera, but now only if you send it to Canon to access that value.
