Hey there, new photographer here. So I recently learned that my Canon R6 has a lifespan of about 300,000 actuations of the shutter. I generally take about 1000 photos each shoot (obviously I cull the photos after). According to these calculations, my camera should last for about 300 sessions. This number seems a little low to me? Considering the immense cost of the camera? What is your opinion on this and have you also considered lifespan of the camera when shooting? Any suggestions? Should I be more conservative with my photos considering this? Thanks in advance!
You don’t hear much talk about it because it’s not really a big deal. Snap away. You’ll never wear it out. If you do, a shutter is cheap to replace. But you won’t. And if you do, it will have been a good use of the few hundred it will cost to replace it.
