Just a quick question or two ........

[Simon Spiers]

How many pictures have you taken with your SLR camera?
Has anyone had any sign of the shutter going out of calibration?

I was wondering if the 50-100 thousand actuations of the shutter is an accurate estimation of the camera's life.

I don't know where I read it, but I believe the estimated shutter life of the 20D is about 100,000 actuations and the 300D/350D is about 50,000......maybe someone can post a link to a reliable source of information for you

I saw those exact numbers in a head to head comparison of the 350D with the 20D, I think on dpreview, though I can't seem to lay my browser on the article at the moment (probably in my bookmarks at home)....

Here's the URL of the comparison article between the DRebel XT and the 20D - it was on bobatkins review site:
