Shutter Count: Hi everyone, I have a Nikon D80, what is the life expectancy of this camera, as far as shutter count? Mine has 22,000 actuations now, and they say that is 45%.

Who is they?

Shutter count is only one assessment of camera life. Nikon rates their shutter durability based on some reliability criteria. A D80 can go for well over 100,000 shutter accuations before you need to service it.

I have made a site that allows you to check your shutter count by simply uploading a small jpeg right out your camera.

I can find the shutter count on Picasa, by opening a picture and clicking on "Properties." It is towards the bottom

Hey Dewgman....I also have a D80... dont hear much from anyone that has one. You like it? When did u purchase it?

Dewgman Loc: Brownsville PA

I got it about a year ago, I really like it. I bought it off ebay used, I purchased a 50mm 1.8 lens and it works very well. I always had fixed lens, I would like to get a telefoto lens, but they are pricy.

How do you like yours? How long have you had it? Do you have a zoom lens?
