Re: Do you think shutter count matters on mirrorless bodies
Personally I think the shutter count gives an indication as too how much buttons have been pressed. I think the shutter itself should easily exceed it’s recommended lifespan, but I’m more concerned about other factors, wheels slipping, buttons not responding, dead pixels etc etc, a high count gives potential buyers a insight into the life the camera had.
Also I tend to divide the listed shutter count by 36, I find that gives me a more realistic view when I ponder the number of rolls of film I would have used to hit that count..
So, for context
The R5 mentioned upthread has 500,000 = 13,888 rolls of film 😬
So roughly 1 roll shot every day for over 38yrs, that’s some usage !!
My highest shutter count I own is a used ex-press 5diii, 182,000. But it was serviced annually throughout its life before it came to me. It’s the sweetest sounding camera I own, makes the canon M series and my RP sound awful with their cheap “clack” sounding shutters.
