For your info…

Its an out of date camera now, I know, but I bought a Canon D350 in 2007. (it was just out of date then, too!

I took 8,570 pictures and then the shutter failed in 2010 (3 years of life).

I was rather disappointed, since my Nikkormat FTn lasted 25 years. Then I realised I only took 4000 pictures with the Nikkormat in that time.

So in a way I am neither surprised nor disappointed that the Canon broke. It was an electronic failure (too expensive to fix) and electronics are weaker than mechanics, I’d say.

I now have a Nikon D90 + 18-200 zoom – and already I have electronic contact problems between the two.
I doubt they will last for 8000 pictures.

Cheers
Hugh
