I have had my Canon 40d for about 20 months. I love it. However, I am conscious that at least once in every 100 or 200 shots I can hear the shutter stick. It opens but does not close immediately and sounds louder.
I have read that shutters are only good for 40k open/shuts ... and I am wondering if this might be a sign of it wearing out. Since I shoot anywhere from 300 photos to 1000 photos a week, I am very aware that it is at or approaching the 40k mark.
Anyone else had a shutter wear out? Is this how it starts?
Was considering upgrading to the 5d Mk II, and have already invested in a 24-70, 2.8L lens 3 months back with that upgrade in mind. (ie. no point putting a low end lens on a high end camera) ... thoughts?
Potentially I have a big photo job in 2 weeks - would HATE for the shutter to go bad during it (don't have a 2nd SLR, only a point & shoot ...)
