Shutter Count

My Oly's got about 1200 on its new shutter. It's only rated for something like 40,000, which seems insanely low to me... but again, as they've said above, if you worry about that too much, you'll never take pictures.

This worried me too when I first read of it. It is in the specifications of the camera, but when you look at it, it's like changing the tires in your car. The shutter wears over time and may fail.

I've had my camera since Oct 2012 and have over 10k on it. I'm far far away from worrying about the shutter having issues. I have heard of someone having to have it replaced but they used theirs at 74k.

I no longer worry about it.
