landscape_shooter Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>I have only gotten to around 11,000 on my 40D. On my film 7E lots and lots. What's the most you've taken on a digital, anyone over 100,000?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmeade Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>I'm on the second shutter for my 20D and I've probably taken a good 100k with the 40D over the last 12 months. I haven't tied to estimate for the 5D, but that's going to be a substantial number too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddomonkos Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>I have over 75,000 on my XTi (rated for 50K), the shutter is very loud but the camera works fine. Shot NASCAR in Sonoma (Sat&Sun) with my new 50D about 3,400 pictures.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike dixon Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>After more than 3.5 years, my 5D has been used for close to 100,000. Maybe I should throw a party for it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Phelan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>I managed to get 132,400 snaps on a 20D before the shutter gave out (it was rated at 50-60,000). I sent it in to Canon for repair (they gave me the actuation number) and the cost to repair was the same as a Rebel XT - so I bought the Rebel that now has about 100,000 snaps. I also have a Rebel XTi that has over 60,000 actuations that I've handed down to my daughter. I'm now using a 50D and hope to get over 200k with it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>On my Canon 350D (Rebel XT), I have around 88,000. </p> <p>This is a somewhat useful website for getting some idea as to how long your shutter might last.</p> <p><a href="http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/sitemap.php">http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/sitemap.php</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>Canon A80: 35,000+/- Probably would still be going had I not dropped it one too many times.<br> Canon 350D: 31,000 so far</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel flather Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>Where do all you shooters store 100,000+ photos? Did you shoot tham all in RAW? 100,000+ RAW files from a 5D would be lots of info.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmeade Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>Yes they're RAW for me.<br> I've got several archival boxes of DVDs or older material and have just installed my third external hard drive, the latest being 1 Tb.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_oleson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>that statistical analysis page really is interesting! i noted the inclusion of a couple of cameras that died with about 150 cycles, which i think might warrant inquiry as to the cause of death before inclusion, and the sample sizes tend to be small in the larger cycle counts probably indicating that large numbers of cameras have simply not yet reached those numbers yet... so the actual life expectancy might be a bit higher than indicated especially in the most recent, non-pro models that haven't seen a lot of heavy use yet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael focus97.com lee Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>Well those stats are a little disconcerting. My body is the 1Ds Mk III, and the graph kindly tells me the shutter's rated to 3,650. <br> Dang. I've shot near 15K... on borrowed time, apparently. :( </p> <p><strong>Strangely, here's data for the 1Ds Mk II:</strong><br> Average number of actuations after which shutter is still alive: <strong>323,131.4</strong> <br /> Average number of actuations after which shutter died: <strong>83,932.9</strong><br> <strong><br /> </strong><br> I'll admit some statistical naivety, here. But here's a question: <br /> The first<strong> </strong> metric is a little weird, no? If you graph out all the cameras and their total number of actuations over the life span of the shutter, I suppose you can end up with an average for how many actuations they'll last. But what exactly does the first metric above tell you from the perspective of n samples of camera?</p> <p>Also, most all the cameras I found had larger first metrics compared to the second, just like above. How can, the average for which the shutter's still alive be consistently bigger than the average for the dead shutters?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_moss2 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 <p>Can't remember exactly D30 ~65,000, Two 10Ds: < 30,000 on one, 75,000 on the other. 1D MkII: >147,000 in two years. My 1D MkIII has 93,097. Just a baby!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhbphoto Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 <p>One of my 20d's is on its third shutter......so I guess at least 250k on that one. We shoot alot of events/schools.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_meddaugh Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 <p>Those stats from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/sitemap.php" target="_blank">http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/sitemap.php</a> are not worth much. It's a great idea but wholly dependent on a limited set of user responses of dubious reliability. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
