Camera Shutter Life Expectancy Database

OK, newbie question probably....

How do I know how may shutter actuations I have precisely? I have a pretty good idea from numbering of my NEF files, but is there a more accurate way to determine?

 

Take your last picture and open it with the "shutter Count" option in Preview Extractor V1.6

You can also use Opanda but then you have to search a little more...

Opanda also shows total actuations.

 

no dead shutters on D200 reported:>))))

 

Gale,

I think you are probably the only one that has more posts than shutter actuations on their D200. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax;

 

Well lets see, LOLOL
I have 25,000 on the D200....
I need to go get some more pics quick:>))))

 

I just got my D100 back

from its first service. They told me it had 96,500 shutter presses on it - and they have given me another 3 month warranty!

 

yee gads....you get bragging rights here.

Reminds me of the old Volvo ads that featured the guy with a half million miles of something like that.

PLEASE....post a screen shot of the Opanda-documented 100,000th click......next week maybe????

 

hehe, thanks, but I will probably sell it. Its the S5 that gets a hammering now, and that is up to 3500, so add that to the 96500 and you have your number

 

100k on my D2X
like the energizer bunny--it keeps on going and going and going...

 

Cool , so I won't be afraid anymore to take "silly" shots with my D2H just to spare the shutter's life :biggrin:

 

speaking of shutter life, my brother, who's been using my D1, told me that he's been getting several shots in a row that come out black :frown:

i wish i could figure out how many actuations i have on that body. i figure it's somewhere close to 50k.

ricky

 

I have over 11,000 and I just bought my D200 this past December. I did take 4800 pictures during 3 days of racing at Sebring in March.

I'm not worried about shutter count. When the damn thing wears out, then I stop taking pictures and move on to a new hobby. j/k
