Highest shutter count
Dec 14, 2017 14:48:59 #
I just got given a D200 that works perfectly (so far) with a shutter count of 273,000. Think it's had a "rebuild" or just a tough camera

That's pretty high for a camera that is rated at 100,000. So maybe this one will never break. I still miss the glorious color of that CCD!

I've never had one with over 50,000.

That's unbelievable. Especially for a crop sensor. Pro cameras such as the D4s and D5 have rating much higher. Keep on clicking until it dies on you. You got it for free. It could have had a shutter replacement. Because Nikon does not roll back shutter counts when shutter is replaced. But, I'm certain the person who gave you the camera would have told you that.

I have a local photojournalist who still shoots with two Nikon D3s's. One has a shutter count of 1.8 MILLION, the other one only has a shutter count of 1.2 MILLION (Neither has had the shutters replaced). Shutters can last a VERY long time, or they can fail prematurely, there is no way to know when they will fail until they actually do.

Remind me not to lend you anything.

So, it's time for your D200 to collect Social Security, but there's life left in the old Dude:

Looks like there could be some life left after all

If it is not broken, don't fix it. My old film camera Nikon's, which had no way of determining shutter counts, took close to a 1,000,000 shots and as far as I know it is probably still taking shots.
