I've recently used the Myshuutercount.com site to get the actuations off cameras. My D300 came in at 24500 over two years which sounds about right but I tested my little D40 yesterday and it seemed way wrong.

It gave me a count of over 6000 actuations and this seems insanely high for a camera I only use for holidays or when I want to travel light.

Has anyone else experienced shutter counts off this site that don't tally up?

(I'm on a Mac so some of the normal software like Opanda is of no use to me)
 
+1 for iexif, I've been using it for a while and it works perfectly, as deejay says take a JPG, open it with iexif, bob's your uncle. I've tried it with a camera I know the shutter count of from filename succession, and it's accurate.
 
Mine comes out at 346 actuations, LOL, I brought mine at the end of the summer, and with work commitments I just have not had a chance to use it, so basicly its still brand new I suppose, not bad for a 6 month old camera, still thats going to change this year I promise
 
On a Mac open a RAW file in Preview and check the inspector.

Trevor, I read somewhere a while back that Preview's inspector shows the number of shutter actuations. I can see everything but the thing I want here. Which figure should I be looking at?

You must open a RAW file. In inspector click More Info/Nikon, shutter count is 3rd from bottom.

Worked for me too when I opened my JPEG picture with Preview

Preview -> Tool -> Inspector (command+I) -> More Info -> Nikon
