Only on the 1 series cameras as far as I'm aware. Otherwise you are just stuck with using the files numbers to work out how many shots you took.

True, though I did read a post from a member a few days ago claiming he had figured out a way to get an acutuation count from a non-1D body. I couldn't see that the claim was validated in any way though. Might do a search.

Right. I will add that you'll have to use software (CanCount for example) that will extract the shutter count from the image data, there's no actual shutter counter in the body itself that you can manipulate at will.

Providing that you never resets the serial number, which I had never done so. How bout the serial number photo? Let's say your last photo number is 878-7847, I think it means that you have taken 77 847 image. Anyone can verify?
