Hi, everyone as per title, does shutter count matter?

like 30k, 40k, 90k, 100k, and so on and so on.

I know shutter is able to change but does these counts really matter?

it is. shutter count is like car's milage.

What is the negative effect of a high shutter count. Lets say around 50k.

Yes it matters.

Example you buy RM 500 entry level camera, use a while shutter spoiled.

You then have to incur time and cost (a few hundred) - end up you're paying so much more for that particular model.

If it's high-end model then not so bad, in the sense that because high mileage you can bargain kau kau and then if need to replace shutter then it doesn't incur too much in terms of % of the unit price.

Entry level on the other hand, RM 200 - 300 for a shutter is like 50% or more of the body price.

how to check shutter counts?

depends on which camera you own. each system is different.
Olympus is a PITA where you need to input secret code like old games to access cheat codes

Alright thank you very much for the reply. =)

Just currently on the fence of getting 5DM2.

for high end dslr. sc is not an issue as it can be replaced for a reasonable price in relation to the cost of its body .... my RM0.02
