Anyone know how much it costs? In Finland, to be more exact. I just ordered meself a used D30. My only concern is the shutter.

Do not know about Finland but here's my experience in the UK.
I am in the process of having the shutter on my own D30 fixed at Fixation UK (they have it at the moment!). I have been informed that it is going to cost £183 inclusive of UK VAT. Fixation can be contacted at www.fixationuk.com I have no affiliation with this company its just that work sends its equipment there so was easier
For the record my D30 had completed just under 89,000 actuations (Is this average/good/poor???)

Dont know, but it's close to 50 shots a day, every day in five years on average. That's pretty much.
Read somewhere that 30.000 is average - also read other figures so who knows?!
What I've shot so far amounts to 6.000 clicks on a yearly basis. So 89.000 would last me almost 15 year. Shooting with a D30 in 2018? I think not!

In the USA Canon charges a flat fee of $232 to fix anything. Good if something major goes wrong but dreadfully expensive for a minor repair.
