I have the opportunity to purchase a working, yet 'high-mileage', 50D. Wondering what an out-of-warranty shutter replacement might cost in case it fails near future. Wanting to compare purchase price + repair to cost of refurbished unit.


G'Jim c):{- ... 2x 50D (Both Gripped), 2x 7D (Both Gripped), 2x 5D Mk II (One gripped), 1x 60D, assorted glass (10-800mm), sundry accoutrements.
The beginner clicks the shutter and says "Let's see what I got." ... The experienced photographer thinks "How can I capture what I see?"

Figure 2-300 depending on where you send it and everything that's actually wrong.

That said, just because a shutter has a bazillion clicks on it doesn't mean it's about to fail. If the price of the camera is right, it's worth the purchase.
