My K-3 II (dated May 15th, 2015) has a loooooong way to go at 15,830.

K3 classic: 80,685 since 2014 and still kicking.

My K-3 II is 150k+. A pretty big chunk of that is from testing a couple dozen manual-focus lenses.

**beachgardener** · 11-30-2021, 06:33 PM

mine is 12,729

Honestly not as many as I thought

K3
Shutter Count 66,429
Manufacture Date 2013:11:26

About 15000. Manufactured in 2014, still going strong.

189948 since June of 2014.

15,186 but I haven't owned it for long. It was around 14000 when I bought it.

normhead · 02-11-2022, 09:29 AM

My date of manufacture is 2013:10:10
My shutter count is 150,543

My usage has fallen off since I got the K-1 in November 2016. But I'm still averaging almost 20,000 a year overall. AT the current rate, it will be 5 years before I'm looking for a camera again... by then hopefully the K-3iii will be in my price range by then.

normhead · 02-14-2022, 08:56 AM

What? Did I kill the thread? Honest, I don't consider any of you to be slackers.. there's nothing wrong with having a shutter count under 15,000 a year.

Jonathan Mac · 02-14-2022, 09:57 AM

My K-3 is at 54308 after seven years of use. That's 7758 per year and a little over a quarter of the way through it's estimated shutter lifespan, so by that logic I could get another twenty years or so out of it.

normhead · 02-14-2022, 10:09 AM

Now that I have the K-1 I'm hoping to get my K-3 use below 10,000 a year, and get 5 more years out of it.

I can only assume they used this camera for video, cuz .. ain't even broke in yet (but the body has quite a few worn spots, and some of the buttons are well used).
