Is 1000 a high shutter count?

At the enthusiast level, it is more like 200,000. Cameras built for sports photography can expect around 500,000 or beyond. By average—I actually mean average. An entry-level camera could require a replacement shutter mechanism at 50,000 actuations or still be going strong at 150,000 and last way beyond.

What happens if shutter count finish?

A shutter can last longer, but is only guaranteed to work for the specified number. Once you hit the shutter count, the manufacturer can no longer guarantee the continued use of the shutter, which means that it may break. After the shutter stops working, then you can’t take a picture.

Shutter count is an estimation of how much the camera has been used. Most shutters are rated to a minimum of 150,000 (entry and mid-range DSLRs) or 300,000 (professional DSLRs). Most shutters last well beyond their rated life (indeed no Camera Jungle DSLR has yet worn out).

How many shutters does a camera last?

What shutter count is good?

A used camera can be expected to have about 10,000 shutter actuations per year for normal use. Again going back to the car analogy, if your used camera has a shutter count of more than 100,000, you should probably pass on that camera.

Can shutter count be reset?

Shutter count isn’t reset otherwise. It is technically possible to artificially/maliciously reset a DSLR shutter count (it is, after all, stored on a writable piece of memory) but don’t expect it to be easy.

Should I worry about shutter count?

Typically shutter count is not something you should be worried about. Most modern dslrs are rated for 100,000+ shutter counts. If you’re buying a 2nd hand camera and you see the shutter count is 90,000 (if company says 100,000) then perhaps you should consider a different camera.
