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!
I’ve had a few Canons in my shooting career. Never had a single one fail. I don’t even keep track of the shutter count anymore. Just know that someday it may quit working and you’ll need to either get it repaired or buy a new camera. Chances are you’ll be ready for something much newer by the time it dies.
