Average 1d shutter life ?

hi guys,
my 1d2n has just started putting black lines across images, like this (just a quick shot out the back of the venue while i was swearing, cursing and waiting for my boss to drop his mk2 off to me

heard others paid like $200 for a shutter replaced. then others said canon replaced them free of charge in the 1series when they had such a low count because they say they are rated for 200k

when everything opens back up after easter i will ring canon and ask them nicely to do it it under warranty even though its run out - just because its such a low count - worst they can do is say no
failing that i will have to just pay to get it fixed, i just dont like not being able to use it

Hi

I had that problem around 50,000 in my shutter. looks like the foam piece has fallen off. Took canon four weeks under warranty to fix it for me. I bought then a 1d mk1 and haven't used the 1d mk2n since then.

Just satisifed with the images I get off the 1d mk1 for sports.
