is that true that our camera has shutter life? like after certain count, eg 50k, the shutter will k.o?

how much to replace it? .. mine, around 3-4 weeks .. shutter cound is 3.5k .. ..

prob a kid just worried... btw, there is no way any telco will release any customer info even with police report
ryzan, i think i PMed you dunno in where, PM,PB or here, u got recieved? bout ur VG.

Back from work T.T
ryzan, i really wonder where u find all those bugs?

100k shutter life...to replace i heard that u need RM700

try not to worry too much about shutter life. chances are you'll replace/sell off the cam before you're even halfway through its life cycle.

So, dont think. Just shoot

for almost 1 year... my shutter count 10k
so 9 more years to 100k
doubt the camera can last that long
maybe by 2-3 years, 20mega pixel camera will be a norm and it is time to change again

Here's some of my ACGC shot.

Posted at ACGC thread but since chiggy share it, might as well show some of mine.

not your usual cosplayer shots.

There's no one there haha, shot these after I finish my job. Nothing to do while waiting for my breakfast to arrive haha.

Then this security came up to me and said I need a get a permit from the office to shoot. . . whadda, com'on I'm the staff ok and later there's going to whole bunch of photographers, permit you say?

This is my balloon collections
C&C pls

yeah...thts rite....
24.5 MPX is for camera phones.....
DSLR are all FF + 100MPX.....

Phone?? Pffft. We communicate through our brains and take picture using our eyeballs.
Hahahahhaa. Too futuristic eh?

haha....
the new SE Idou is packing with a 12.1 MPX...
mayb within few years 24.5 mpx on phones wont be a myth loh....

Yea. Heard bout the phone. The name is ...well..its sounds like "i dunno"

AlphaBeta, I've heard that the shutter unit costs RM300 or so. Sony replacement parts are not as expensive as some expect it to be.

chiggy, wah 10K! And as we all see, you use your camera often. So there is nothing to worry about in terms of shutter count really.

I'm waaaaay pass 20k on my A700 liao...

I searched for "DSC0999" in my pictures folder.

I clicked View - Details to sort them by folders. The number of folders that appeared are the number of times I passed 10K.

Sony Alpha 100 - 14 times, or over 140K shots over a period of 10 months
Sony Alpha 700 - 24 times, or over 240K shots over a period of 12 months
Sony Alpha 900 - 1 time, or over 10K shots over a period of 5 months

The A700 and A900 are rated for 100K shots but I never had any problems with the A700 shutter.

As you can see, shutter count is not something to worry about! If you've seen my previous A100 and A700 external body condition, you'll know it can take a fair bit of wear.

* these numbers may not be accurate if I deleted a whole series of pictures in the DSC0999x series, or if I swapped CF cards, which is not often

* cameras automatically create a new folder each time you hit DSC00001.JPG so that it won't be writing to the same folder

So dont think, just shoot
Your A700....240k
