The bigger question is: will you still have the same body when you hit the absolute limit of shutter life? Who knows. I might see 250,000 actuations in 5 years, and another average user might have their shutter die at 90,000 actuations, but in 10 years. Most people who shoot heavy continuous frame rates will have significantly higher overall shutter actuations in the life of their camera than an average snapshooter, but in a more compressed period of time. If the shutter is being used in burst mode frequently, the lifespan can be considerably higher since the usage rate is much higher, and wear, age, deterioration, physical bumps and damage, are all factors not being included. Many times that shutter rating of 100,000 is assuming a fairly low average of shots per year - often 10,000, and is based on a 10-year lifespan at that average usage, which also means besides shutter actuations, you also have physical deterioration and general abuse factoring in. How the camera is used, how it is shot, makes a difference. It's not an absolute lifespan, just a ballpark average. I have shot with several cameras that had typical consumer-camera shutter life, 100,000, which far exceeded 100,000 actuations - in fact, two of them are still shooting regularly in the hands of others. Just as a battery in a car can be 'rated' for 3 years, but go for 8 years. I average about 9/10 using the electronic shutter, which means by the time my 100k average is used up, i will have taken about a million shots.Īnd just to clarify the 'shutter life' numbers - a rated shutter life by no means is the absolute limit - it's just the average lifespan they felt comfortable stating the camera's shutter might have.

I may still shoot action with burst, but the dent in the shutter life is much smaller when all my macro and portraits are not using up shutter clicks. In the end i chose a camera/system that allows me to shoot with an electronic shutter for 90% of my shots. Sony has many cameras i would love to own, i also looked hard at the 6D and D7100. I recently made a system change and it was largely due to this issue. It's great to have a machine gun speed but nobody keeps all 23 of those shots, many are simply wasted in the process even if they are in focus. You are encountering the same issue i had a while back, which is i was aware of the enormous waste of photos when shooting burst.
#Sony nex5n shuttercount pro
Semi pro such as the A77 are rated for 150k, a camera such as the K3 is rated for 200k, other pro cameras like the D4 are higher (cant remember that one specifically). The average shutter life rating is for 100k which is normal for a consumer level camera. I just hope that A6000 will remain in good quality manner as 5N. There is no official statement from Sony about expected shutter life of A6000. Cost of repair would be 150E - 200$, as I have informed, i.e.

I did not hear complains about dead shutter. Some forum members reported over 100.000. I will try to post some jumping horses with af-c in a few days. Had anyone have its shutter replaced on the nex5n ne圆 or 7 models? What did it cost? What can I expect from the alpha 6000? Is there any information or any hints? The Nex 5N only has a shutter count of 10200 after 2 years. Now using the 6fps and 11fps function we already have taken about 3000 pictures in 5 days and I started to worry about shutter life. According to her it is a rather big step up from the Nex 5N. My wife has been doing three horse riding (jumping) competitions with it and so far is rather pleased with the af and 6 to 11 pics /second.

We have been using our new alpha 6000 for a couple of days now.
