Shutter Actuation Software
I am not sure if I have imagined this but I understand it is possible to interrogate a camera for the exact number of shutter actuations amongst other things.
I am looking at purchasing a used body but with low use. Software of this type would be very useful to prove low use. Can anyone vouch for my understanding and point me in a direction where I can find such software.

Very good idea.
Seems possible with higher end bodies but no readily available by supplied software with the usual and common ones. I believe it is possible to find it easy if you give the camera to manufacturer's repair center, so a call to local on may be of help. But I am sure someone has made a software for such check using cameras usb cable for communication. Will look and if find one, will post it here.

I hope your assistant is wrapped up nice and warm!
I downloaded preview-extractor and it sure works. Looking at the end of RIAT the 'mileage' on my D2X was approx 13500 some 400 higher than the filename I set to consecutive after a few hours of ownership. My fathers D70 had taken an amazing 600 I reckon 150 of those were from me! This little utility is going to come in handy

Stevie has a bottle of wine so she is fine. Reporting in is an excuse for a fill up
Does not look too good for a moon pic tonight at the moment. I am still trawling, but glad that link provided something useful. Don |

I feel I cannot ask him as I seemed to have it most of the summer for one reason or another. I am quite bad an giving things back that I borrow within the family. Still, my father is using my 28-200 f3.5-5.6D loaned him in 2004!
Very useful utility to confirm use. I can ask for a recent photo from any seller to check date and time and shutter use before I explore any sale further. Thanks Don

Just having a play with it.
No need to ever shoot RAW + Jpeg as it will extract all the jpegs for reviewing of images taken in a trice. Not much use for me as I do not fill 4 x 2gig cards at an airshow. Very useful for dealing with Stevies pics though. She is not up with NX and on return from a do can now spin through her pics in PSP8 in no time. Prior to today I had to convert them to Jpegs individually as I have not worked out how to batch process. Don |
