Canon Shutter Life Expectancy: Know When Your Camera Might Fail You
Table list of all known Canon camera shutter lifetime expectancy till to date. Including the CPU type and the release year.
It is important to know your Canon shutter count so you can expect when your camera will begin to fail you. Understanding the Canon shutter life expectancy helps you prepare and ensure you have a backup ready, especially if you are a professional photographer.
Please note that this shutter lifetime value is tested and expected from Canon. However, it is not known when your Canon shutter will fail you. For example, the Canon EOS 300D is expected to fail at 40,000 counts, but some cameras surpass their lifetime expectancy. My friend has gone beyond 43,000 counts, and the camera still works. But it is not recommended, especially for professionals; you better get a backup camera.
