The Shutter is rated for 100,000 actuations.

Keep on shooting!

Craigslisted one with just under 100k.

My primary has about 66k.

They can go at any time--but if you shoot for $$$ make sure you have a backup.

just keep shooting till it breaks. People get so paranoid about shutter count. Enjoy the camera and shoot away!
