Although 100k is a LOT more than it sounds, a professional can easily hit this mark within a few years. We do have to think before we go hog wild with a heavy trigger finger. Isn’t it especially true that we have a false sense of security with digital cameras? We think there is no end to the photos we can take simply because we aren’t tied to rolls of film. When I first heard that magic 100,000 number, I was disheartened and frightened for the life of my camera. Just get out there and read the chatter because the manufacturers don’t say much. You’ll find a host of certain cameras died around the 30k mark, others 100k. Just like with cars, the best way to know what kind of mileage people are getting out of their cameras is to get on forums and see what people are reporting. No manufacturer of items can assure how long an item will last and to do so would be a bad idea on their behalf incase your particular unit didn’t match those expectations. No need to use card reader, search and download files to memory card, check which version is latest. But life expectancy isn’t something you’ll find on the specs of a camera you’re looking at buying, much like mileage expectancy isn’t on the price sticker of a new Ford Focus. Useful information when you plan to take the camera on a trip or buy used camera. Canon says that their 5D mkII is good for about 150k and the 1D, 200k.
The inner workings of a camera are delicate and fragile and made to withstand around 100,000 shutter releases.
Although it makes perfect sense that your camera, like anything, will only last so long. This is a troubling thing for an avid photo taker to learn for the first time because it’s not something we know until we are told. Yes, I did say that: Your camera has a life expectancy. And this is an important number because your camera has a life expectancy, just like your car.
