Wouldn't have said so... I bought a Mk II with 270,000 recently with a broken shutter... your's probably depends on price really. If you factor in US$180 for a shutter plus a couple of hours labour in the event it does eventually fail - does the equation get too expensive?

(p.s. welcome to the forums!)


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Shutters fail. They work fine until they do. Some fail at 10k, some at 400k go figure
Buy it if the price is right.

I got mine with a 112k on the shutter and have put another 20k-25k on it without any issues. The 1D Mk II shutter has a MTTF of 200,000 clicks rated by Canon.
