I thought that the astrojargon tool only works with xxD range of canons not the rebels.

One way of estimating it is by counting how many pictures you've taken with the camera. Lightroom allows you to look at pictures taken with a specific camera

Thats why I said I was unsure.

1.0) Will this show the SHUTTER COUNT on my 1D*/5D/10D/20D/30D/40D/50D/300D/350D/400D/450D/500D/1000D?
The shutter count information is available *only* on Canon DIGIC III/IV DSLRs *except* the 1D* series. This means that EOSInfo will display the shutter counter for the 40D, the 50D, the 450D, 500D, and the 1000D. It will also show the shutter counter for the 5DMkII, but the camera must be power-cycled before the value is updated. The shutter counter will not be displayed (or will be displayed as "0") on the 1D*, 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 300D, 350D, and 400D. It's not that I have anything against the owners of those cameras, but simply that the Canon SDK does not support retrieving the shutter count for them. UPDATE (08/06/2009): Apparently, Canon has removed the facility for checking the shutter count on the 500D. More news when I learn something.

No mention of the 550D
