First, here are some of the truths that I found out So, did I really find out how to check the number of shutter actuations / counts on my Canon 7d and Canon 5d Mark iii? Did I do it on a Mac? Yep, I sure did.

It is also important to know the number of shutter actuations when buying or selling a used DSLR. The Canon 7d and 5d Mark III are both rated for 150,000 actuations. Each camera is rated for a certain number of shutter actuations. Knowing the number of shutter actuations on your can be important. I searched dozens of message boards, read blogs, downloaded software, uploaded photos to websites, and played in the Mac terminal program. After spending ½ a day researching and trying to find the shutter actuations for my Canon 7d and Canon 5d Mark iii DSLRs, I decided to write a blog post about what I learned.
