I've got about 25,000 pictures taken with my Olympus E-500, I was just wondering about how many takes you can expect out of a lower end dslr. I know pro-level dslr's are usually guaranteed through 80, 100, or 150 thousand, but i've never seen numbers for a Canon Rebel, Nikon D40, ect...
How many more pictures can I expect to take? Thanks. |

Looks like yours is doing good!
My Digital Rebel was a little bit under 17,000 when the shutter died. |

Most entry level cameras have an MTBF rating of 50K.
The prosumer bodies have an increased rating of 100K.
Keep in mind that this doesn't gaurantee a shutter will last this number of actuations.

| Well over 30,000 on my Rebel. I know there are quite a few around who've got way more than the 50,000 mentioned on their "entry level" cameras. |

| Thanks for the info. I recently got hired to shoot for a college newspaper, so I'm going to be upping my shooting this year. I'd like to upgrade lenses, but I'm wondering if I'm going to need to start saving for a new body too. |

Yup!
Some reach 100K without a problem yet others can fail before 10K actuations. MTBF is just a rating and isn't implied as any sort of gaurantee of life expectancy.
