Best Sites To Get Your Camera Shutter Count

There are several sites where you can check your shutter count by uploading a picture. Right now, I'm going to talk about a few of them, their pros and cons.

Where can I check my Shutter Count?

• Camera Shutter Count COM You already know this site, right? This is by far the most popular one, used as the default option by most photographers, the oldest and most well-known, and totally reliable. Any cons? Well, yes, its design is old-fashioned, and sometimes the picture takes a long time to upload. Frankly, that's all.
• Camera Shutter Count NET This is the net version of the previous site, less well-known than its counterpart, with a cleaner and more modern design and some extra bells and whistles, like a ranking of the highest shutter counts ever recorded, a recent shutter counts list, you can also compare your results with other users, and the ability to accept JPG, PNG, and raw files. The form is right in front of you when you open the page. It's also multilingual. The cons? Definitely the ads when you browse and sometimes it takes a few seconds to load.

Feel free to try its uploading form right here:

Your results are below

• Apotelyt This is a multi-purpose site. It has a shutter count feature, but also a camera comparison tool, among others. Its design feels a bit old-fashioned, but it provides much more detailed technical information about cameras and lenses.It also contains ads, but they don't feel intrusive. The cons? Sometimes you have to scroll down through all the technical information to get to the upload form. That's all.
• Shutter Check Well, this site does have a form to check your shutter count. The design looks modern and clean, with no ads whatsoever. The downside? Well, it's more like a site designed to sell you their software ShutterCheck for Mac, than to read your shutter count data. Not too bad if you really need software to get that information (e.g., Canon users).
• My shutter count This site has some interesting statistics regarding the shutter counts uploaded to their site, like a histogram where you can see the frequency of shutter counts. The cons? Lots of extra information when you just want to check your count.
• Shutter Count Checker Simple and easy to use. The site looks gorgeous, with a modern minimalist design, the form is easy to find, practically right in front of you when you open the page The cons? I don't know if it was my imagination, but when I tried it, it never showed me the EXIF data, just the shutter count. It kept loading forever. Maybe I should try again some other day and update this paragraph.
• Shutter Count App Fast and easy to use, and multilingual too. I liked how fast it feels, you just upload a picture and voilá your results are there. However, the design feels... weird. The font is too small and illegible, and the layout feels off making it uncomfortable to browser.

Alternative tools to get your Shutter Count

There are several alternative ways to get your shutter count without visiting a website.

• ExifTool If you'd rather not visit a website or if you want to check your shutter count offline, this is the go-to option. All the websites I mentioned before use this under the hood. Download it, install it, and use it to read your picture's metadata.
• Camera Service Centers: If you're near one, your brand's service center can check it for you—but that's not always convenient or fast.

Where To Get Shutter Count for Canon

Do you remember that I told you in past entries and in Shutter Count page that Canon doesn't include the shutter count data in their pictures, yes, I know, don't even mention it, it sucks, well, the Shutter Check App that I mentioned in the last picture allows you to it, of course for a small fee, nothing is free in this capitalist world, and Canon decided that you should be left alone if you need to know your camera's "mileage". Also if I remember correctly, there is an official version of that Canon Software, don't remember if it has a high cost though.
