I hope that I'm not reposting this.
I currently have the 7D and have taken well over 175,000 pics. The camera is working great but I was made aware that the shutter count on the camera is maxed out at 150,000. Is this something that i should look into? Perhaps referbish the camera or just replace it. Thanks for any input....

THe shutter count is not a hard number. It is the shutters MTTF meaning that 50% of all shutters will fail before 150k and 50% will last beyond 150k actuations. I would not do anything until it fails. It costs about $250~$300 to get anon to replace the shutter.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Shoot it until it breaks. Then decide on what you want to do.
