I found this site of Camera Shutter Life Expectancy Database very interesting http://olegkikin.com/shutterlife/,Just add your camera model to see how your shutter goes...:wink:
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 http://drchung.new21.net/previewextractor/ You can also use Opanda but then you have to search a little more... http://www.opanda.com/
Gale, I think you are probably the only one that has more posts than shutter actuations on their D200. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: Tim
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
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
