People,
What's the usual lifetime of D200, D80, and other cameras? I mean the number of shots, just approximately, X0'000, X00'000, greater? Did anybody hear anything about that? Just D. |

I don't own the models you mention. I can only say that I have gotten thousands of pictures on my HP digitals and they have also been dropped many times. I use them every day. As with any piece of electronics, they can suffer a hard failure at any time so you always need backup. |

As with any piece of electronics, they can suffer a hard failure at any time so you always need backup. Actually I didn't mean if I drop the camera down or something like that. I mean a usual physical wear of the shutter. I heard something about 100'000 shots, maybe slightly greater, but this info is not the latest and about the previous generation of the cameras. And I have no idea how long the PRO and SEMIPRO DSLR models are able to work before we need to maintain or even replace the shutter. Just my curiosity. For example I made over 4500 shots since the middle of December 2006 and I'm wondering if I keep going at the same speed for how long time the camera will still be able to work great as usual.

Hello, Just D: Here's some information I just found, on the Web, about DSLR shutter lifetimes: Nikon D200 - 100,000 actuations Nikon D80 - 50,000 actuations The above data, alone, seems to indicate that the D200 is considerably more robust than the D80.

John,
Here's some information I just found, on the Web, about DSLR shutter lifetimes: Nikon D200 - 100,000 actuations Nikon D80 - 50,000 actuations The above data, alone, seems to indicate that the D200 is considerably more robust than the D80. Thanks for this info, it's interesting. So it looks like I should be more careful, accurate, and don't shoot too many times. Say, if one short trip takes approximately from 500 to 1000 shots then I can destroy the shutter in 50-100 trips. Not so good. I expected more at least in times. Just D. |
