Is there a " shutter actuation odometer" in the camera?....lol....is there a formula for approximating shutter actuations in a DSLR based on age?

Just to add Precision camera isn't a camera store. They only provide service and repair

Worrying about this is like worrying about how many heartbeats does your heart have before it ticks the last one. I have worn out cameras even nikons and leicas and currently use an old Nikon D 50 I can shoot a 1000 photos in a day and can average up to 300 frames in a hour. I have ran over 90,000 photos on my computer and not counting the times I test my camera and erase shots trying things out This has happen in less than two years. Get you a camera and take photos for fun counting shutter clicks is for bean counters or people with phobias, get over it. i buy used cameras and never had one die because I clicked the last ten shutter counts. I am not a rank amatuer.

it is a female cardinal. They are not as colorful or vivid red as the males. As with most birds the males are more colorful. I took that last winter here in Michigan

I was just curious more than anything else. I was simply wondering if a person had a 2000.00 camera and they ran their shutter dead I would assume they would want to repair it instead of shelling out another 2K. So that led me to my next question...I wonder what that would cost on average? I shoot with a Nikon D200 I bought is used and I really like it. If I ever need to repair it I don't know if I would repair it or replace it I guess it would depend on what's out there and how far it is into the future. Just being a curious George

This is out of left field, but if you have a relatively new camera, you might try simply shutting the camera off, removing the battery, and reinserting the battery. Sometimes the computer of a digital camera just gets confused somehow and stalls. It's worth trying before assuming that it's broken, and of course costs nothing.

First of all I would like to say thanks to all of the good input I received starting this topic it mostly was to gain knowledge and was just a curious notion, and so I learned a few things. There is nothing currently wrong with my camera again just a question I thought about asking. But as for pdwoodswood question, I did see somewhere in one of these forum topics a reply that listed a sight link that could give you your shutter actuations by providing them with your last file/pic taken. somewhere buried in the file is the shutter count and they are able to dig it out. Heres the strange part I just happened on this last night and clicked the link and it showed up and I submitted my last pic and it took about 30 sec. and it showed that I had 19255 clicks and I thought wow how cool. So I thought I would post it to answer woodswoods question. So I clicked on the link tonight again to double check it and it won't show up/ it is broken right now and has been for a couple hours so I am thinking thats weird...
anyways the link is

It worked last night. Anyone else used it before?

I just tried it and it works...
Thank you very much Nikonian72.. I was trying earlier today to figure out how many I had used..

What brand and model? With most older film cameras a complete shutter replacement was not needed. Usually just replace the blades. Could still be pricy but usually worth it on a decent camera.
