SURVEY: What's your shutter actuations count?

[Scheimpflug]

Thought this might be an interesting survey.

My better half's D40 was purchased used with 4,253 clicks on the shutter. Six months in, it's at 24,460. At this rate, based on the survey results at http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d40.htm (average failure at 114,923.4 actuations), we have a little over two years of life left.

How many actuations are on your DSLR's shutter?

[poilu]

average mean some shutter fail at 20000 others at 200000
my previous car could made 100000km but my wife crash it at 30000
don't stress, use your tool, if it break, take another

I have a Nikon D70 with 260 000 shutter actuations. No service so far.

I had a Nikon D2x with 190 000 shutter actuations, new owner says it now has 380 000 shutter actuations and still no service needed.

I have a Nikon D3 with 120 000 shutter actuations, and the factory warranty covers 500 000 shutter actuations.

Shutter goes boom at 50k is a relic of the past, modern DSLRs are very good and can handle hundreds of thousands of photos.

I sold my 350D with a shutter count of about 18.000 - never had any problems.

My 40D now has about 9.000, no problem at all.

My 5D is a used one, I estimate the shutter clicks at about 26.000 - 30.000. It works like a charm.

wow, some of you are using dslr as kalashnikov? ... my K200D have after 12 months of using only ~8000 actuations of shutter (plus approx 200 on two dynax700si bodies in last 2 years)

[xjjohnno]

My K20D has approxiamately 34,000 clicks to date.

Yeah, there are a number of ways to rip through the shots quickly. For example, the D40 doesn't have metering for manual lenses, so the only option is to guess for the first shot, check the histogram, make adjustments, and shoot again.

Panoramas, HDR, bracketed focus/exposure, time-lapse, etc are also good ways to end up taking a LOT of pictures when the end result "condenses" into very few.

Hi,

My three-years-old K10D has taken 48952 pictures up to now without any service ...

[hexi]

My 5D had about 7500 clicks when i bought it, i may be at about 8000 by now, maybe less though.

Is there by the way a possibility of a program that shows this camera actuations, apart Canon service ? thanx

just saw this one the site above

since I had bought my used Pentax *istDs, which was abt. 3 years old then, I have added another 25.000+, my 'new' K-x now got 10.000+

[edumad]

My K10D has 20k+ actuations.

[eeyore_nl]

I have no idea, and I don't really care.

Both my Canon 20D and 5D are working great.

[cheve]

canon 350D, shutter expired after about 53k clicks

7D is at about 2500 - at this rate, it should last 10yrs for me(if the mtbf is indeed 150k)

I sold my E-520 with approx. 7500 clicks.

Bought an E-3 with approx. 17000 clicks and it now has around 24000 clicks.

My DMC-L1 has around 3400 clicks.

Last but not least, my E-510, which is now "borrowed" to my sister has approx. 12000 clicks.

[symphonic]

My 450D is only 8 months old now, so it has about 3000 clicks. I don't intend on getting a new body any time soon so I hope it'll withstand a lot of actuations.

My old p&s (Powershot A700) is now around 11k clicks and still works ok.

[Dr.AK]

My 450d, about 18 months old, has exactly 11804 clicks and works perfectly.

[spystyle]

My Nikon D40 has 16,000 actuations and I've never had a problem with it ... yet

I just bought a 2nd hand K200d where would I find out how many photos have been taken? Not sure what it would be listed under in the manual.
