Anyone repalced their 1dx shutter? Im looking at a used with higher shutter clicks and wondering if i can be educated with your experience?
TIA

Not me. Mine broke because somebody opened the tailgate of a car, and a bag, with the camera inside, fell out.

Well im going to have to say good bye to this thread as i took the decision to sell my 1Dx. After much deliberation i decided a 5d mkiv suits my needs more. I know some will say it is a mistake, but i felt that the smaller size, less weight, more pixels, wifi, touch screen suits my needs better. I didnt need the 12fps, infact i never used it. Loved my 1dx, hope the new camera gives me as much pleasure. All the best folks ߑͰߏ

^ All the best, mungo... Hope the 5D4 fulfills whatcha need... Thx for contributing to this thread!!!

I bought a high mileage 1Dx last year - it had around 500,000 actuations and had just had it's shutter replaced. Not sure if the shutter had failed or the owner wanted it done before moving it along. I got a copy of the Canon service sheet so can confirm the work done. Looks a little beat-up but these cameras are very well built so I know the insides are fine.

[edit] just checked the service sheet and the shutter had failed - "white band on left side when in portrait mode" cost total NZ$773

I did a similar thing but didn't get on with the 5d4 and now own a 1dx2.

I too thought the weight was a bit much but, when I added a grip and a spare battery, the 5d4 was only a 100 and something grams lighter.

Great image quality from the 5d4 though.

Thank you so much for the info! I was looking at one with high 300k+ but ended up with 70k+. Hopefully it last another 200k+ before i throw in another 800-1000. Right now im just gonna shoot away

Just ordered a pre owned low shutter (23,000 actuations) 1dx.
Can’t wait to play and see the improvements over my 1d4

Congratulations Jeff!

The 1-D X is an awesome camera.
I think that the only thing that I do not like with it is that its "silent shutter" is far from silent.

I look forward to seeing many great images from you in the future, arising from your 1-D X!

The silent shutter (or lack of) won't be an issue for my photography thankfully.
It will mean my 1d4 can go into semi retirememnt as my back up body

I'm looking forward to seeing how much better the low light abilities will be and hoping the focus tracking will be better still than the 1d4.
