How many shots on YOUR shutter?

I know camera makers rate your shutters for so many shots for the life of it, and just wondering what it is in real life for all you out there?


Camera make/model?


Shots taken/shutter actuations?


How old your camera is?





Mine is Fuji S3


If I figure it right, folders start at 001 and go up a number each time you roll over to 10,000 shots, I"m on folder 435 now.


4,350,000 frames taken?


Camera is about 7 years old if I am correct...





Guess I got my $$$ worth from it...lookin for my next buy soon! But still working fine!

Are you sure about the shutter counter.


In 7 years, you need to have done above 1700 shots a day

^^ Yeah, sounds a lot.

I did over 120,000 on my D2x in reasonable professional use. I think I got it in early 2006, haven't used it much this year as it is semi retired now.

I also have a Fuji S3 I've made about 60,000 shots with it.

In general, I average a little over 1,000 shots a month. My D40 crapped out after 20,000-25,000 actuations, but I think that was the heat of the last weekend I shot with it. Let's hope my new baby keeps on ticking well past 100k!

What is the accurate way to find how many shutter actuations are on a digital SLR?

Ask Jeffrey. This is a very good exif data page. Upload a JPG and scroll around for total shutter count. For some reason, I think this only works with JPGs straight out of the camera, and not JPGs made from RAWs/PSDs. Maybe I'm wrong. Opanda works too.

I remember downloading a small software program that checks how many shutter actuations your camera has had, was for canon 40d a year or so ago. Try Google.

Just a hair under 8000 on my 9 month old Canon XSI

Well, I do photography full time/studio/location work, and have shot a LOT of models so I could have easily averaged that number when I look at all the disks I have and work done in the past! Just shot another 262 images the other afternoon for a model shoot and that was for only about 1.5 hours of time and working slow. Not to mention all my own fine art images I shoot when out and then my stock photo work too!

Rob, the arithmetic doesn't make sense. As Petar pointed out (Idouble checked it), you would need to shoot 1700 pictures a day, each and every day, for 7 years to shoot that many pictures. Where would you find the time to cull & edit them? And where would you store them? The example you quoted in your post above indicates you'd have needed to coninue shooting another 8.5 hours with no breaks to get to 1700 shots just on that one particular day.


There's probably an error somewhere in your original assumptions.

Wow, my camera has a pampered life. It is a D300, 22 months old and had about 10,800 shots.

^^ Yeah, your D300 isn't even run in yet, Jo.

If I do a full day (12 hrs+) of event photography I can rack up approaching 2000 shots, but only for a full-on day with a "shoot everything" brief, so this sort of intensity is rare for me. I guess 100-400 shots per shoot is more typical, averaging maybe 3-4 shoots per week. For stock shoots I normally shoot a lot less images.
So I guess around 1000 shots per week is typical for me, broadly in line with 120,000 shots in 2+ years.

As far as I know, there's no way to tell the shutter count on my 5D.

I have about the same on my D300 same age, judging by the numbers assigned by my camera. Its quality not quantity although I do need to shoot more.

18,700 and counting on a Nikon D40. 18 months old maybe ??? No question I'll replace the shutter when it does go out !

Got my first DSLR in may 2008. My D80 has seen 50435 shots since then, then again, I play around a lot, experiment and like using my stuff untill it's so worn out it's hard to keep the pieces together (have some really raggy jackets I still use, though I still look like a million dollars since I always wear a shirt and tie, I'm like the dandy/bum you see in Simpsons cartoons).

6 month old d700 @ 15,000

D80, not sure if there is a special way to show shutter actuations, but just shot file no. 5,105 so I guess thats the number.(how do I find the number if I reset the image numbering). the camera was brought about 12-15 months ago. I thought I shot a lot, guess not. How many shutter actuations Should I expect?
