Is there any software out there, that you can use to check the number of times that a cameras shutter has been actuated?
There are some different ones, although I've never had them work for me. I'm sorry I don't have the names of them right now but a Google search should bring up several different programs.
What kind of camera do you have? I know if you have a Nikon DSLR, it comes up on the screen with all your data.
Google 'camera shutter count'
I have a Canon 60D, but i want to use the program if I buy a used camera, by having the person send me a picture with all the data in tact so i can review it from the metadata.
I've always used ExifTool for my Nikon -

Another option it to upload to a number of sites. Problem there for me is RAW files take too long and I don't always remember to shoot the token jpeg to make it easier.
