about shutter counts, you can consider this as the mileage of your camera. the number of shots/actuations from a camera is recorded in the Exif data of the D70-shot photo. i have a software to pull the shutter count for Nikon. i guess if the data is captured in Exif and with Exif being a standard across camera manufacturers, the software may work with other camera brands as well.
