Hello, just wanted to ask, if anyone there has any experience with shutter lifetime of normal compact cameras. I am planning to setup an automated 3D stereo time-lapse using two Canon Powershot SX100's, so just thinking how long could they operate until shutter failure... Just heard, that when a classic DSLR with mirror is used, the lifetime is not very long. For example Canon 1000D takes 20000 shots average until the shutter fails (see other models at http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/canon_eos1000d.htm). That is only 208 days of 15 min. shooting, so it would be very expensive, to trash one such camera every 200 days ;). So I hope, that some normal camera without mirrors will last significantly longer... -- View this message in context: http://gphoto-software.10949.n7.nabble.com/Shutter-lifetime-tp16567.html Sent from the gphoto-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot
