![]() ![]() However, the OP does qualify the reason for asking about the shutter count and that qualification does have merit, my bold for emphasis: As personal example (which is not a large sample group admittedly but proves the point that there is an element of "luck of the draw"), I have had one EOS 5D shutter die at 67 shots and an EOS 20D still travelling strong at >60,000 (probably 65,000). ![]() If they are then it’s probably obvious such as an old model 1 Series being bought from an hard working Professional or an old camera being bought as more of a collector’s item, than a tool for photography, like my EOS D30, for example.Īlso the Shutter Count of itself doesn’t have that much meaning beyond statistics: for example a shutter might be “rated” for 50,000 actuations, but there’s not much information on when shutters actually are likely to die and as far as I understand the “rating” is NOT quantified by data of dead shutters – but rather it is a TR&D Tab Test. I think that most DSLR’s which are sold second hand are not anywhere near 80,000 or 100,000 actuations. My view is, generally the need to know the Shutter Count is pointless and the pre-occupation with knowing it, is somewhat amusing. Even if this is a three year old thread it is an attitude worth discussing today.I concur. I find this pre-occupation with shutter count rather amusing and pointless.
