Hi everybody,

In the process of looking for a backup body, I've come across a fair-priced (170usd) GX7 with a 32k shutter count. That count is higher than on my EM10, so it got me thinking: what is the life expectancy of the shutter on these cameras? Needless to say, I came back empty handed, any info I found seems to be an educated guess at best.

So then I had the idea of asking this forum: what is the shutter count for your camera(s)? This way we may get a sense of what the upper bound looks like for some popular models. Plus, it's just interesting to know and it would be a change from the FF/MFT agonizing debates

In my case:

EM10, 24k clicks

I'm not sure how Panasonic counts, but it really depends whether these are mechanical or electronic shutter clicks.

For my own purposes, I'd look for something with lighter use and better shock-free shutter options.
