Shoody workmanship, should have done it properly first time!

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 am not sure I have ever SEEN 500,000 photos let alone pressed my finger that often. :lol:

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. :lol:

You could be right. :lol:

I sometimes think that a camera that lies around with only occasional use my be more prone to shutter failure due to lubrication drying up.
