@zellleonhart:
No problem mate, glad to help.

my friend using canon 1000d, anyway, he has a friend who work with camera company, that help him to change one

Oh.. I had the same problem like you on my d40 before... I also don't know why that occurs.. but that time was probably my lens and body contact wasn't good... put to single shot mode, and everything should be fine.

i am using single shot mode... Not burst mode/continuous mode. Maybe my lens contact not good already, becuz sometimes when i take my d40 out of the bag it can't AF at all, need to remount the lens. Haiz... Plastic mount sucks man..

there is alot of info here...thank guy....=)

This came from my D200 body..
300k++ and still counting.. So no worries. Just keep shooting and ignore those shutter count until when u need to replace it (when the time comes).. usually the owner of the camera will "break" 1st before the body (u wud sell the body 1st before knowing that it can serve u well over years to come..)

very true!

yet ppl buying at garage sales still so annoying asking for sc. hehe

cos the lower the shutter count means lesser use. surely it's second hand, but if all the second hand falls in the same price range, generally ppl will look for the newest unit.

some of my friend's camera, especially lower end like Nikon D40, shutter break down at 20k... so it's very hard to say.

wahhh 2009 topic revived... hahaha.

today's camera is rated 100k min even for entry.

but even if ur unit pass 1million shutter and breakdown within warranty period, they will still change for u for free, as there state no shutter count warranty in the warranty term and condition.

if yours really breakdown right after the warranty period (or u brought 2nd hand) its fairly cheap (under rm400) for the 1/4000 shutter unit, and around rm600 for 1/8000 APS-C Shutter unit and around rm800 for FF shutter unit. additional service charges may apply because when u send ur unit in, the service center usually CHECK the whole body rather then just change the shutter.

But do take note, because most new sensor design with native iso200, hence shutter used in daylight usually 1 stop higher. the Mirror plastic braket will BREAK even before u reach 100k shutter. and its cheap to replace it too.

my A300 shutter now is 2 years, 70k and counting
