Hi This is not about compact cameras, but slightly more expensive ones. We've been running Nikon D7000 for many years, and the shutter is what breaks, but not before 200 000 - 300 000 images (2 times the amount Nikon says). Now we've switched to the Sony a7s and we've taken more than a million images with it in silent mode (only using global electronic shutter). In general I would recommend an electronic shutter if you want millions of images.
