The D7000 is good for a minimum of 150,000 shutter activation. That is the MTBF, so your actual "clicks" could be considerable higher.

https://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d7000.htm reports 26% can go over 1 MILLION. Just shoot away.

Well nuts! I was hoping for an excuse to buy a new camera.
Even still, thanks for the reply.

And there is a 50% chance it will be lower when it fails.

Buy the new camera and the D7000 will be a great back-up.

I have a D7000 that i bought used in September (emergency, after I damaged my D810). It worked flawlessly while i was away and when i returned i checked the count - 187,613. With a shutter rated for 150,000 actuations, i think it's doing OK! The only real problem is that I can't sell it! Unless the prospect doesn't ask about the shutter....
