... which brings, not least, a drastically increased lifetime. :)
- bborud 13y agoIncreased lifetime for what? By the time I get anywhere near the announced lifetime of the shutter I will long since have upgraded to a newer model.
- tekacs 13y agoDepends on who you are and what you're shooting - on models with moderately low shutter limits (say ~100,000 as on the 5D Mk II) it's quite possible to use up the entire limit within a month or two, if working on certain kinds of photography...
- bborud 13y agoTrue. If you use it for long time-lapses or other "less traditional uses" I can absolutely see you running out of shutter cycles.
