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.
