Lifespan

Hi Everyone,

I have a new software program (free download) called Preview Extractor which lets me know the shutter count for any given camera. Since I now know how many shutter activations my D2Xs has taken I’m curious to know how many shutter counts is it considered to make in its lifetime.

I also want to know the same for the D3 & D300; is there anywhere I can find this information as it isn’t in the manuals nor can I find it on DPReview!

Many thanks,

Paul

This form of information is usually given in the advertising blurp..

Cheers Tom,

I'll have a look through some old adverts then!

A general rule of thumb is 50k - 100K for consumer grade bodes and 150K - 300K for pro grade bodies depending on manufacturer and age of design of body.

d2h/s d2x/s d300 d1/h/x all 150,000 d3 300,000 new type of shutter. I have a d1 with around 935,000 a d2x with 276,000 my d300 d200 have around 45,00 each and my d1x is around 100,000 both my old d100 are sitll going strong and had 60,000 + when I sold them.

My D200's shutter is still fine, but the mirror failed after 14,000 actuations (when taking portrait shots, the mirror wouldn't come back down fully). Though I could have provoked it by doing time lapses with 1 shot per second for tens of minutes at a time.

Nikon UK messed up the focusing screen calibration when replacing the mirror, so it had to go back a second time for manual focusing to be accurate again....

The marketing material for the D200 says the shutter is tested to 150,000 actuations.

I think you will find that when you say "any camera", it will actually only work on any Nikon camera.

Thanks Guys,

Just what I wanted to know! Cheers!


Sorry Steve meant any 'Nikon' Camera!
