Real-World Average Shutter Life for Canon 5D and 1Ds mkII
We take more than 5 million pictures every month using a pool of 250+ Canon 5D and Canon 1Ds mkII cameras. Recently, Jon was contemplating buying a 5D and wanted to know how long the shutter life was. Hey, we can answer that using real-world numbers!
The Canon 5D is rated for 50K+ shots, but they last much longer, and fail after an average of 150K shots.
The Canon 1Ds mkII is rated for 200K+ shots, but actually lasts for 750K shots before shutter failure!
Someone else might find these numbers useful.

Another friend of mine works on SD cards for cameras and said that Canon DSLRs outlast Nikon ones enormously in their non-stop testing.
