picture #5000

I knew I was creeping up on the #5000 shot - didn't realize it would come so quickly as I have only had my camera since early last august. A couple weeks ago we went out to my nieces T-ball game and was glad to see that #5000 was of her :thumbsup: and not used on something I was just messing around with. I know I have about 1400 shots on it before I set it to continuously count without resetting.

yes, the summer is a time to get out there and start photographing. whats the expected shutter life on the d50? Is it around 50,000?

thanks Tyson !!

I am not sure what the shutter life of the D50 is ... will give me a reason for a D80 or D200 then:D

Cute!

My 20d has rolled over. Not sure on the 10d...

"I know I have about 1400 shots on it before I set it to continuously count without resetting."

Ditto with my D200. I know I shot at least 1000 frames before I set it to read continuously. I'm now in the 14,000 frame range with it. And I've had it since May 2006.

Congrats on hitting your 5000 mark, and you got a great shot for that milestone.

Adina and Speed - Thanks for the comments! I was pleasantly surprised when I seen this was 5000 :D

It is just amazing how quickly the shots add up - never gave much thought to shutter life. Over the weekend on the way home from our day trip we talked about it and just realize that if I don't have an upgrade by the time it stops working, I will upgrade then. I have some glass on the list before a body:thumbsup:

Cute shot. Now I'll have to figure out how to find out how many shots I've taken.

how do I check how many shots? i have 400D
thanks

If I'm not mistaken, you can only check if you have Continuous Numbering on, and if then, just check the number on the last picture you took. :O

Don't worry as the Nikon D-80 and D-70 both have electronic Shutters so why would they not use an electronic shutter on the D-40 and D-50? Mechanical shutters are so costly!

Capture 5000 is priceless.Last time I looked I was at about 7,300 shots on the D80 since sept. '06.
Nice work.

frog - thanks - I am still amazed how fast the # of shots goes up / I am already pushing 6000 / probably this weekend

jixline - as Tel stated - I have the continuous counter on so it keeps counting where it left off and doesn't reset - or you can start counting

freygr - still something to be concerned with as sooner or later the shutter will fail - say the D50 does go to 50k shots - thats alot of shots but still will get here rather quickly (much faster than if I were shooting film) - I am sure the higher end cameras have better components for a less likely hood of failure - as brent said he has over 105k already - I did a search and it seems like the d50 will fail on an average around 30k - 50k

Rick - thanks !! wow I thought I was taking alot of shots !! but you have better weather year round - I didn't get out much in the winter -
