no... most if not all digital camera uses eletronic shutter not mechanical shutter thus theres no shutter count

Read again: Digital cameras do not have a shutter. If they do you most probably won't be able to do live preview already.

IMHO the CCD has a life span, similar to a light bulb, it will gradually burn off, but not sure of its life span.

even if have its not due to the eletronic shutter iirc... you are burning it as long as you left the camera on since its live preview
