19,814 since August 2011. Most of it street photography. I have learned a lot with this camera.

The number of shots on any one camera are so dependent on what you shoot. Landscape photography means many less images than sports for example. My K-r which I have had for about a year and a half has just under 9K on it. I do also shoot three other cameras (all film) as well. Next week I am shooting a rodeo so expect many more images that day than a day of hiking about.

I think that a very high shutter count would lower the value of the camera as I suspect that the average person would want one with the lower count if presented with the two options.

So far 25000 from 2011 february not sure. Lots of wildlife photos and portraits

So I was surprised I am only at 4096 - I've had my K-r since last September. Yesterday I was at the Manitoba Stampede in Morris and racked up a record for me of 360 shots at the rodeo!

Normally I shoot (but only in a photographic sense) wildlife and pets.

Just curious, does anyone know what the rating is for the k-r shutter?

It's rated for 100k actuations, but that is not a hard limit. That's just the minimum that should be expected, barring malfunction/premature failure.

Mine is pushing 28k now. I haven't shot nearly as much this summer as last. Too busy with other stuff, unfortunately.
