jim_larson1 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 10D shutters are good for 18 months from date of initial model introduction. If yours still works. . .count yourself lucky. But you should immediatly run out and get a 1D-II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolver Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 That information is just way too helpful.......... <br><br> The concenus is around 50-60K actuations on average and cost to replace is approx $200 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I used to shoot 50-60 36-exposure rolls of chromes per year. With my 10D it's still 1800 -2000 exposures per year. So, with a 50,000 shutter cycles life expectancy, I'm good for 25 years... Most folks will upgrade to the next model long before the shutter croaks. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peng_kit_wong Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I have lost count. Each session I take about 500-800 shots and now maybe it has already reached a total of 40,000 ? Well, I am keeping my fingers crossed that the shutter still works until I upgrade to a new model like 30D or something like that. 20D is very tempting but I am skipping it.

jim_larson1 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 500-800 shots each session? Gah. . .how much time do you spend post processing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemmm Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 With the introduction of digital SLRs, do shutters need to be made a bit tougher?<br> On 35mm film, when I go on holiday I might shoot 1, maybe 1.5 36-exposure films per day (Not the heaviest user of film ever, and budget's a major consideration) If I had been shooting digital however, I guess I could shoot 100 images a day, or more, deleting shots that didn't quite work as I went along (assuming I packed enough high-capacity memory cards) <p>With no need to stop and load film, and no/lower costs associated with every press of the shutter, will digital bodies break down quicker than their film-based counterparts? (ignoring the inbuilt obsolescence in all computer equipment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'm just as careful and thoughtful with digital as with film, and budget is not a major consideration. I just hate wasting time editing out 100s of poor images. It's far better to get it right the first time... Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
