A friend of mine gave me his old 5D MK ll. I took it to the only camera store in the city and they were kind enough to check the shutter count for me. They said 194,000. The camera works beautifully. Should I be worried about the shutter count?
Thanks!

280,000! That's very encouraging. I now have very close duplicate of my 5D MKll kit that I used many years ago when I was selling my photography in a local gallery.

5D MKII body
24-105 f4 L IS Lens
70-200 f2.8 L IS Lens

This time around, this is for my enjoyment, not for selling. Lots less pressure and time involved. I think I'm gonna like this!

The shutter of a Canon 5D MK II has an estimated lifespan of 150,000 actuation. When the actuation count reaches this figure or higher, it may be necessary to replace the shutter - something that can be quite expensive. Fortunately, if the camera is in good condition and functioning well, you may still be able to use it beyond its limit. However, you should keep your eye on the shutter count to monitor any changes in image quality or autofocus performance - they could indicate that it's time to consider replacing the shutter or upgrading to a newer model.

Thanks for the advice. Actually I am already looking for a used 70D.
