#6D DOES NOT ADD SHUTTERCOUNT SERIES#

And you under estimate how quickly shots build up when the owner of the device is a bird-in-flight shooter, who racks up lots of shots with a single press of the shutter button.

It looks almost new, with no gunk build up and all buttons & slots in fine working condition. I have a very well used 6D based on shutter clicks, but the body is well maintained. I think you are making too many assumptions.

#6D DOES NOT ADD SHUTTERCOUNT SERIES#

A well kept 1 series is probably the only DSLR body I'd consider purchasing with over 100K on the shutter unless the price was just ridiculously low. But given the choice I'll take the low mileage body every time. Yes, the shutter can fail on exposure number 2 or 200K.nothing is guaranteed. And since the 6D is not a machine gunner where users typically pile up thousands actuations per outing, that tells me it's been around the block a few times. Buttons, dials, mirror & motor, I/O ports, card slots, cosmetic condition, 'gunk' buildup, etc. Shutters are not the only items susceptible to wear and tear on a camera. I think that's over simplifying it a bit.

On the other hand, if you can find a low-shutter-count body for close to the same price, you will at least feel better about the purchase, but know that the shutter could go bad the very next day.Įven if you buy new, you will still have to pay to replace the shutter if it goes bad inside the first year, unless some tech-support boss inside Canon decides to be nice to you. People who only buy low-shutter-count cameras are simply fooling themselves if they think shutter count means anything real. If you fear that, then simply do not buy a used camera. The shutter can go bad on any camera at any time. Is this worth considering, or I should look elsewhere? I am looking for a used Canon 6D and have seen on ebay one with shutter count 153000, but the shutter was replaced and has actual shutter count about 3000.
