Originally posted by Eric Auer I shoot around 600-800 ( sometimes 1000+) on a busy day at work so what you are saying is that a K-s2 would last me a few months..
A modest Pentax like the K-x has a specified shutter life of 100,000 actuations, the K-7 and K-5 are rated 100,000 too. The K-3 is rated for 200,000 shutter releases, and the more 'pro' K-1 has a rated shutter life of 300,000 releases.
I'd say the K-S2 would be somewhere between K-x and K-3.
But those shutter life numbers aren't a guarantee that every shutter will survive to 100,000 (or whatever) actuations. They are just an indicator of average expected lifespan. Some cameras will live to 1 million shutter actuations, some will die at 10,000, but if they camera is rated for 100k actuations, the average lifespan you might expect would be 100k.
