how do I to find 5d2 shutter count

[bento2]

What reliable software can I use to fine the shutter count on a 5D2?

EOS Count.

Let me know if that works for you, as i tried it this morning and it tried to change my IE and added a bunch of spam crap. When I uninstalled it my IE crashed and I had to restore my computer.

Thanks for the warning Tony.

Anyone else had a problem with EOS Count?

There's nothing in the camera or any Canon-supplied utility that reveals this.  But there are a handful of utilities that claim to be able to get this info out of the camera.  I think I found more utilities for Windows -- but I have a Mac.

So I found a utility that does this called (oddly enough) "Shutter Count".  Not free... but it is cheap.  I see it's currently $2.99 (I think it may have been $1.99 when I bought it.)  I does work with the 5D II.

I have never had an issue with EOS Count.  But I have not used it recently.
