How much do you shoot?

[Andy Stringer]

Over the last couple of years, my average has been just over 100 shots per week, of which about 10% are keepers.

As others have commented, the average is not representative. Sometimes I'll head out somewhere with high expectations and never remove the lens cap because the light isn't right, but show me a baby penguin in the wild and I won't take my finger off the shutter release all day.

Hey Nighthawk, you better be careful, 600fpm with a 300000 limit, you could trash your new camera in 8.3 hours!!! Move away from the button!!!

You don't have to trash your camera, you just replace the shutter and mirror box for a few hundred dolars and you good to go. 300,000 acuations is just an estimate, youcan go to websites that take a poll on how long eachshutter lasted. 300,000 is a conservative number and usually last a bit longer than that. I've seen them last as long as a milion acuations or more! Although it's not that often. It also depends on how many lens changes you do and how dusty the enviroment, that greatly affects the shutter's life span.
