I think a lot of cameras will show the true actuations while others don't. You got to wonder if they take that number from the file system though, and how changing cards/resetting the camera would effect the number they come up with.

some models have the true number accesible and some dont.. like i say the canon 1d cameras could at 1dmkII but not III and IV :( you prob need to check with manufacturer if you model has the shutter count accesible or not..

Yes I understand that but would changing a card, as has been said, change the count? I suspect not, but not sure.

Nikon EXIF shows the true shutter actuations, rather than just the file number
