New to the world of DSLRs and knowing that they really make taking a picture so much fun and rewarding. I am just a little confused about the rating of "Shutter Life" some manufactures boast that their flag-ship DSLR shutter has be tested to withstand 300,000 Shutters. Does this mean that when that DSLR hits 300,000 Pictures/Exposures it shuts down, just toss that 8,000 dollar baby in the trash..


Would like some knowledgeable response to understanding what they are rating??
