Upload a recent, unedited photo from your camera to check the shutter actuation count. Essential for evaluating used camera purchases.
Shutter count availability depends on what the manufacturer stores in image metadata:
For cameras that don't store shutter count in images, you'll need manufacturer software or a direct camera connection.
Not all cameras write shutter count to image files. Canon notably keeps this data internal on most models. Some manufacturers (like recent Sony) encrypt this information. Try uploading a completely unedited image — editing software often strips metadata.
Entry-level DSLRs are rated for ~100,000 actuations, prosumer bodies for ~150,000, and professional cameras for 300,000-500,000. However, many cameras far exceed these ratings. A camera at 50% of its rated life still has plenty of use left.
No! Physical condition, sensor cleanliness, and overall care matter too. A well-maintained camera with high shutter count can be better than an abused low-count body. Shutter count is just one data point.
No. Your image is processed in memory only and immediately discarded. We don't store uploads.
