How many photos have you taken

With your current camera, mine one, the canon 400d: 15,000, taken yesterday

Holy crap. You do know that thing is only rated with an average shutter life of 50,000 shots, don't you? At that rate, it will be dead in 4 days.

You sure you didn't mess up the count by sticking an old card in it?

I don't think I've managed more than about 4,000 in a day, but that was shooting drag racing when explosions can be instantaneous so I use burst mode and fill the buffer on every burnout / pass.

Most full days shooting will vary from a few dozen, if shooting landscapes etc., to about 2,000 for events with action going on all day.

Anyway, to answer the original question regarding my current DSLRs:

20D: had it nearly five years, about 85,000 clicks
5D: had it nearly three years, about 50,000 clicks
40D: had it three weeks, about 200 clicks

So, around 135,000 clicks in 5 years giving an average of around 500 shots per week.

I think I am at around 100k with my 40D since I bought it in March 2007. My 20D had around the same number when I replaced it with my new 40D.

I just archived 100gb of race photos from 2007 & 2008 to DVD, it was around 35 total since all the photos where grouped by race.

Mine has gone to a lowly 17K now Sweet, despite all the pub gigs I have been taking, quite shockingly low

25k in the last year, probably closer to 30k though.
50/60 a day sounds about right
