I have Canon and Fuji cameras. How do obtain shutter counts for these brands?

As for Canon you should get some useful results with exiftool. You'd be looking for the "image count" line.

As for Fuji, there is no way to tell. From my understanding, even if you can get an image count to display using exiftool it is likely inaccurate as the camera includes electronic shutter and video recording toward the overall shutter count. Exactly how I'm not sure.

I just rolled past the 10,000 mark on my 4 (or is it 5) year old Nikon D3100. At this rate I will have to start worrying about shutter count in about thirty more years.

There are various ways to find it if you do a Google search but I always wonder why people bother. Shoot until your shutters fail then fix them or get a new camera. They will probably never fail and knowing shutter count now doesn't change anything. We never knew with film cameras and it never made any difference. I'm not trying to be a wise guy, I just truly don't understand why people pay any attention to this.

Canon does not - REPEAT NOT - put shutter count information in EXIF data. There are applications for Windows and Mac, possibly smartphones that can read the camera data when it is connected. For Windows I use EOSmsg http://www.eosmsg.com/ . There is a small charge per camera, but it is an effective tool.
