I wouldn't buy it unless maybe it was $100.

Almost everybody I read comments from online talks about shutter count.

How about 150,000 clicks worth of adjustments to the dials?

How about 150,000 clicks worth of adjustments to the buttons?

How about 150,000 clicks worth of swapping lenses on the mount?

How about 150,000 clicks worth of popping cards and batteries in and out and snapping little doors?

Why are cameras so WIMPY?!?
At 5000 rpms my car's crank bearings reach 150K actuations every 30 minutes of driving, and sometimes I drive all day and most of the night!!! Sheeshhh...., LoL

Imagine if Canon could bath the bodies, shutters and dials with a synthetic oil circulating system and filter.

And imagine if they weren't delicate instruments that needed to time their operations with sub-millisecond precision.

Now this is sounding like an idea. A fully oiled engine that spins a circular disc with slits for the shutter. We can let the operator control the shutter speed with an analog pedal. It can be surrounded by a metal unibody for protection and weather sealing, put it on wheels to make it easier to point at things, and maybe even put seats in it so the users do not have to walk around. We could build in a cooling system because we have found out with the r5 launch that overheating is a sensitive issue and call it a carema.

And the body would have big fins like an old vintage Cadillac or Desoto !

A new "R" series where R = retro

I'd consider a high mileage camera like that if it were really cheap and I could use the electronic shutter for everything. It could make a nice time lapse camera.
