I guess in reality it comes down to "you get what you pay for." I guess there are other factors than just shutter clicks that will affect the life as well, that perhaps can't be graphed or quantified very well, and it looks like this is just a small sample of data, with perhaps a few thousand (at most) records for each model. So, I don't know. this will give me something to think about if/when I look for a new/second body. What is surprising (well, not really) is that the professional D200, D300, etc, seem to last into the 100k clicks without a problem, with a few failing way earlier. Granted the repair isn't horribly expensive (I think someone said about $450 max) if you have to do that two or three times, it's not worth it after that point, as you've probably spend the total value of the body. Because for me 35,000 clicks is about three years of use. A survival rate more like 85% or 90% would make me feel better. The 70% survival rate at 150k clicks is a bit concerning to me. Surprised to see dead shutters at 32000.? Not sure if this is true, or if the FX bodies are more expensive to repair.) (I heard/read somewhere that to replace the shutter, on mid-range bodies: D3000/D5000/D7000) was about $300, give or take some. Like I said, I'm not worried about this too much right now (I'm just asking) as even at twice the shutter counts per month, I could still get at least 6 years out of the camera with "heavy hobbyist" photography use, which is basically what I do. So, my question for those who have an older model with a lot of shutter counts on them, or just from personal experience, what is a realistic life before the shutter needs replacing? For those who have had them fail, about what count did they fail at, and is it generally worth it to replace the shutter mechanism or are the cameras generally "out of date" by that time, where it may not be worth it?
Nikon says that the average MTBF for the shutter on the D750 (and I think most DSLRs with the exception of the D800/D810 series) is about 150,000 shutter count.
So this probably equates to about 12,000 in a year is what I'm predicting, as I'm already up to 5,000 actuations on the shutter right now. So I'm not terribly worried about this now, but I noticed that after about 5 months of shooting with my D750, I'm doing about 1000 shots per month, on average.
