Frustrating! I can't seem to find a way to calculate the number easily! I've done an estimate based on the fact that Canon recycles numbers after 10,000 (IMG_9999 to IMG_0001). I have eight unique dates with a file in the IMG_999* or IMG_000* range, about one a month. That would be, what, over 80k?
But given that there were a few times I switched memory cards between two camera (which could skew the filename?), I'm guessing at least over 50k this year. Kinda glad I can't prove exactly how bad my addiction is as I know the number is not unrealistic. ;-)
And Canon support is unhelpful. No, I'm not sending my camera in for a tech to tell me! If that's even a real option.
36,415 since I bought my camera after starting this project back in early 2010... (I didn't use it for the 2+ months we went on vacation last winter, chosing to carry a P&S instead) It pleases me to see I'm getting my money's worth out of it!
@blightygal rolls of film? I would be so broke if I develop all the pictures I took! Not to mention the boxes of prints, err, where would I put them? But then again, digital has made it possible to take as many pictures as you want for practically nothing.
If you were using roll of film, you'd probably be a bit more conscious about what you're photographing ;) Digital has made everyone lazy with the ability to take 200 of the same shot to get it perfect.
I currently have 7,606 on my D80, 34,812 on my D300, 30,012 on my D200
or if you want a program that does it instead of having to upload a photo... http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/download.htm its simple to use, start the program>select photo from your memory card> scroll down and it should say Total Number of Shutter Releases, i just got my D90 without knowing how many clicks i tried this out and found out it only had 1872, I WAS ECSTATIC!!!!!

Not much compare to everyone else
