If you have a Flickr account, just post an UNEDITED photo, straight from your Nikon camera (don't know if it works with Canon, etc) to Flickr and enable exif data. The shutter actuations will show as "total number of shutter releases for camera." This does not work with photos that have been edited via Adobe products.

Its not that there is a parameter. Its just that after a while the shutter tires out and may stop working, as my did the other day. Its not something you can predict.
