Shutter Life Cycle

[Gandalf]

Hi Guys,

As the title suggests, what’s the expected life cycle of the shutter on the Canon 5dmk4?

It's MTBF is quoted as 150,000 actuations.

Google seems to come up with 150,000 as it’s rated life expectancy. That of course means some will die before and sometimes me keep on going way beyond 150,000.

According to the Nikon camera database on Wikipedia it’s 400,000.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nikon_DSLR_cameras

Based on remembering long ago, I believe that an MTBF of 150,000 actuations means that there is a 37% chance of it working after this number of actuations so maybe not quite as long as you thought.

Are you *quite* sure about that for a Canon 5dmk4?

Apologies, I misread the camera model
