    Shutter Count and annual usage

    I dont know if there are any other number lovers here but I thought I'd share this....and I'd be interested (heaven knows why) to know other togs numbers....

    I was interested to find out how many actuations my 5D3 had since bought from new almost exactly three years ago....22,300 apparently and my 200D now 6 months old has 2000. So per year in total that equates to about 9000/year...and of those I end up keeping about 2,500 images on average since 2015.

    I'm pleased I've only used 14% of the 5D3s expected life count....so no rushing to change....in fact hoping I can keep it until Canon make a Sony A9 full frame mirrorless equivalent camera.

    I'd hate to think what mine as done. The shutter will probably explode one day.


    Hopefully not till after I can afford something else.

      I know that on a good day out I can average 400-to-600 shots per day just trying to get the right expression /light

                There was an article in the September edition of the magazine with a link to actuation count software.....it was no use for Mac so I just googled it.

                  So in five years Stan you might reach the rated actuations of your camera ......though in practice I suspect they do lots more.

                    On an average working day I'm doing between 500 and 600 shutter actuations

                      Hmmm, feeling rather inadequate right now...
                      But as a matter of interest for those of us at the lower end of the spectrum, over the last 4 years I've averaged 2,600 per year with mine (based purely on file numbering), but what I find more interesting is that the number of days per year that I have taken photos (based on my folder structure) has been very stable at 45, 39, 38, 39, so less than once a week on average. I've kept about 250 each year, so a 10% keeper rate. That surprised me slightly, I thought I was much more ruthless than that.
                      But overall I just wish I had more time to get out more.

                        Re: Shutter Count and annual usage

                        I was only interested in actuations to gauge how much of the useful life of the camera had been used.
                        I suspect these very high shutter actuations are much greater than professionals would have had in the film days.

                        Based on my 9000 actuations a year I would have been spending £750/year or £62/month on film assuming about £3 for a 36 roll....without processing costs of course.
                        Maybe as a business cost as a pro that would be reasonable or even low....but I used to struggle with the cost of a few rolls a month in 1980s.

                          Could be worth while looking at mine but being a hdr tog it's going to be 5x higher anyhow 😲

                            I have been shooting digital since buying my 10D in 2003. I have generally had two cameras at any one time and recently I transferred all my RAW files onto a NAS drive. I have generally kept all RAW files that are technically OK. I transferred 251,000 RAW files that gives me an average of 16,700 shots a year. I have taken 31,000 shots on my 5D mkIV since I got it in Sept 2016 and 12,000 on my 5D mk III over the same period. I don't think anyone would want my cameras secondhand.
