… What should the expected shutter count be on a 5D and would shooting at max. frames per second have a negative effect on the normal life of the shutter … ? ..

I think the rated shutter life is 100K for the 5D. Shooting at max FPS would obviously get you to that count faster then single shot but other then that should not have any negative effects on the shutter. It might cause the mirror box assembly to fail quicker although you would hope Canon builds that in accordance with the rated FPS.

That rated count by the way is just an average so nothing magical about hitting it. You could shoot with it till 200K and see no problems. Then again you could see a failure at 25K. There is really no way to predict it.

The life expectancy of 1DsMkII shutter has been deemed by some to barely exceed 10,000 releases. Good luck with yours, Jefferson ole son.

Can you say 'BRICK', 'DOORSTOP', 'SHELF ORNAMENT', I thought you could

... I would probably look to purchase a 1D4 and send PetKal (1Ds2), off for a new shutter.

As far as the “classic c” goes, once it meets its demise, there is a taxidermist just up the road that does excellent work.

Would look good mounted and hung over the fireplace … the 5Dc not PetKal (1Ds2). Not yet anyway … but I’ll leave a place open. After all … the 1Ds2 (PetKal) won’t last forever.

That’s reserved for rocks and door stops …

Not even rocks last forever, let alone fireplaces.
Let's be optimistic - maybe you can establish a benchmark for longest lasting 5D ("c") shutter.
