That's great. When I got mine it had taken about 5,000 images judging by the image count, unless it had been reset... have fun!:clap:
 
Not really, it's usually only the shutter that wears out, some have failed at 10,000 clicks some do 300,000+, i've er had a few bodies,:D all secondhand never had a problem with any of them, condition is more important to me, if it looks like it's been well cared for i'm not interested in the shutter count :)
 
OK, I see some second hand cameras which are approaching 10,000 clicks, say if you were to buy one and the shutter failed after a while are they expensive to replace?
 
depends on the camera, £200 should do it for most, 10,000 clicks is nothing, I bought my D300 with 22,000 on it which is still only about 15% of it's expected life
 
Welcome to my world as just started dslr,but also found out it dosnt stop with just base kit:thinking:
Adding to it slowly but shopping still goes on,,,,lens,,,,tripod,,,,,bag big enough to fit kitchen sink in,filters,,,,lens caps the list goes on:nuts:
Have along way to go to get anywere near complete,but as weather been so:puke:getting out to get some urban decay shots not great in pouring rain.But have to say since dslr jump so pleased with results:love: it.Hope you have as much fun as me!
 
Only trouble with all this bad weather is more time on the forum picking up tips, know-how and a desire to learn more and a requirement for more kit lol...

Have spent more in the last week or two (since joining) than expected and already more expenditure on the horizon lol :)

But smile on the face, things to so when it's not pouring with rain can get out and see what we can do :)
