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!

    Are you a pro? If not, why do you take 1000 pics a session? If you are, 2k for the main tool you use as a pro is not an immense cost.
