Canon's design life estimate for the digital XS is 100,000 actuations. You can't reset the actual shutter count any more than you can undo the miles on your car.

It's not a magic number. Some will fail before then and some will go way beyond. In theory you can preemptive lay replace an old shutter or have a failed shutter repaired, but at some point parts may become unavailable. In addition, like any device, you need to balance spending money on it or getting a newer product.
