what software do you use to find out your shutter count I have the 30d,7d,5dmk2 and would love to see what the shutter count is on all the bodies .i have A Mac and wonder what software if any there is out there for the mac?
If none what software do you use for the windows platform .

Hi,

Should be right for your need.

I posted this on another thread.. I just use CS5 to look at shutter count. not sure how accurate it is specially on Cameras with videos

or you could upload your photo on Flickr and check it out under the exif tab

Yes and it's NOT for a mac

This is the MAC version: http://www.astrojargon​.net/40DShutterCount.a​spx
The author says 40DShutterCount is the 'old' version of the newer EOSInfo.

I use this http://homepage.mac.co​m/aozer/EV/
I've checked images from both my 40D and also my 1D MkII. I can't guarantee it's accuracy but it does appear to be OK.
I've cross referenced it with this http://www.camerashutt​ercount.com/ and a couple of other actuation counters I've come across and the count has matched and so I take it on face value.
Based on the amount I shoot, I reckon it's right.

I tried the CS5 --schema thing and got 0 for mine. I know it has more than 0 on it.

I've made an OS X app called EOS Inspector that reads shutter actuations count:
http://eosinspectorapp​.com
You can download it on the Mac App Store via this link:
http://appstore.com/ma​c/eosinspector

Just downloaded and installed..will check it out tonight.
Out of curiosity:
Did you wrap gphoto2 inside an app?
thx much for the heads up
PP

No, gphoto and its underlying lib are completely unrelated to my app. Moreover, I believe it is not even possible to use this method if you want to distribute your app on the Mac App Store.
I hope you will find my little app useful!

This.

I am very happy with ShutterCount.app and it only cost me $2 when I got it.
There are free options, yes, but they require an internet connections on a website.
THe app works on my laptop without internet to check my friends gear or used gear.
Worth it to me. (Old thread, but still valid info)

EOS Inspector is free and it doesn’t require an internet connection because it is a self-contained OS X application. Give it a try and let me know what you think about it.

None of these applications work on my cameras under OS X 10.8 or 10.6 (my backup computer). I even downloaded and compiled gphoto2, but it returns 'unknown camera' for both my 550D and 7D.
On the bright side, POTN user mij posted this gem:
Mac Shutter Count App
and it works perfectly on both of my computers, both of my cameras.

http://eoscount.com/
EOSCount.com is a website that allows users to get an accurate shutter count for most current EOS Digital SLR's. It was originally free, but now there is a small payment required to access to shutter count.
Much later in this thread another free 'copycat' website is talked about, but I would suggest avoiding it as there have been reports of 'Malware' on that website.
Sorry, not ALL EOS but most current ones..

EDITED to show which cameras and which browsers are supported...

I just tried this and it really works!
Serge, thank you for this great breakthrough.

Worked with 5DII, 450D, 40D. The 40D required a browser restart after reading the other two straight up.

Dang..I need to get a cable to connect my camera..has anyone tried this with a 5Dc?

According to the FAQ's on the download site, this will unfortunately NOT work on 5D classic.

No support for 1D MK III I really want to know the count on my new camera..
Edit: (Restarting computer, will check back soon)

Dang..thanks

Let me know how that goes..

Gave me the shutter count with 5D2 but couldn't read S/N.
After restarting browser, read both the shutter and serial correctly on 40D.
All in all, nice find, thanks for sharing!

Ughhhhhh, this is frustrating All i want to know is the shutter count..
Serial number: Canon
Shutter count: N/A
Browser restart, and computer restart

It read my 7D fine, but then I popped off a couple of shutter clicks and it took multiple restarts of IE to get it to read the camera again, which it finally did, and correctly added the additional shutter actuations.

Good little activeX plugin.. Worked for my 550D. I then went back into the browser setting and removed the activeX plugin.

Damn I just sent out my 7D for service yesterday. Would have loved to know the count.

Ah too bad This program works for pretty much every EOS, except the two I own lol
