The lower a camera’s shutter count, the more life it has remaining (barring unforeseen defects). Just as you should know a car’s mileage before buying or selling, learning how to verify Canon shutter count is a no-brainer if you’re in the market for a used DSLR.
Canon DSLRs are generally rated to sustain anywhere from 50,000 to 300,000 shutter actuation before a shutter replacement is necessary (at a cost of several hundred dollars). Circuit boards and other non-mechanical components have a virtually infinite lifespan, but a shutter can take quite a bit of wear and tear over its life. The shutter count is to DSLRs what mileage is to cars. Featured Photo: Kārlis Dambrāns via Flickr // CC BY 2.0įeatured Photo: Kārlis Dambrāns via Flickr // CC BY 2.0.
