On shutter count:

So far I remember Nikon has offered this facility for quite a while already. However, Canon always kept it difficult for us. We have to use the EOS Utilities in a complex way to find the shutter count. Fortunately, another vendor has made it easy for us and that’s how I find out the shutter counts of my two Canon bodies (5DII & 70D).

I tried with two images taken just now and uploaded to your link. But, unfortunately it didn’t produce results. The message was “your camera doesn’t store shutter count information.”

Despite some annoying failures, I still stick to Canon DSLRs that I’ve been using since 2009. May be too lazy to try out other options. However, might find their 2nd or 3rd generation Mirrorless versions appealing when they introduce those in future. Their first full frame mirrorless EOS R is already getting positive reviews from some old timers.

Take care Guru, as we follow your advices and would love to continue doing so for many years more.

Best regards.

Hi Artie,

EXIFTOOL is a medadata extraction program that works with the 5DIV. Here is a link to how to install it and how to use it.
