Shuttercount...it also depends what background the photog. is coming from , variety of 6x9 / 6x6 format on 120 roll film incl. a technical camera where 1/30 sec. could mean half an hour of setting up / adjust etc. , evolving to 35mm film with 36 pics., nowadays shooting Digital , yet , I Still have trouble to pass over 50 pics. a day , if that many !!! So my camera`s all show a rather low count...even tho` they`re ancient by nowadays standards.

I have to agree with you. Working in the sphere that I did, there was a lot of setting up, whether in studio or on location. After all that prep work...there was no need to take lots of images. When on holiday, the wife would blast everything in sight...so I've always looked for different subjects to supplement her reportage style. The net effect has been my cameras have all had lower than one might expect for ex pro equipment. The only time I fired off lots of images was at sporting events...horse riding, motorsport etc.

Well be careful what you wish for! I may be coming to Inverness next year. If I do then I will have to raid Ffordes. I am sure that if I come I will get wallet burn. I will also bring some of the old old gear to trade.

My cameras are the other way in that doing press and sport for years my shutter count is high. I have a canon 1d with well over 500,000 shots. My D3 which was my back up has over 200,000 shots and still going. I have one friend that has a D4s with over 1,000,000 shots and still going, it has had 1 shutter replaced at just over 400,000 clicks and is still going on the replacement.

I am not sure I have ever SEEN 500,000 photos let alone pressed my finger that often. ![]() I think that proves that the durability of the shutter is more than good enough and may outlive the sensor. I now wonder if arthritic index finger joints may be the actual limiting factor. ![]()
