But it gives you an idea of what the possibilities are. Looking at actual self-reported values at - sorry, nothing for the Mark III, but the Mark II had the same rated MTBF of 150,000 actuations - we see a 66% chance of a shutter living beyond 1 million actuations (!) Of course, this is all self-reported, and those who get up to 1M actuations are likely treating their cameras differently than those who just hit 100k actuations nine years after release. So, if the shutter has outlasted the initial manufacturer's warranty, it is likely to get much more than 150,000 actuations. These numbers are generally lower than what an individual should expect, however, because there is a spike in shutter failures in the low-thousands (due to clear manufacturing defects), and then a fairly long narrow tail beyond that.
The mean means that as many shutters that Canon produces will fail before 150,000 actuations as fail after 150,000. Now, this doesn't mean that a shutter will "on average" live to only 150,000 actuations. : New firmware version 1.7.The Canon rating for Mean Actuations Before Failure of its 5DMkIII is 150,000 actuations. : New firmware version 1.0.5.1 is available for EOS C70 : Help ensure your autofocus is properly aligned with a Canon Precision Alignment : New firmware version 1.4.1 is available for EOS R3 Such cameras come with a one-year guarantee that helps protect the buyer from failures due to unsuspected problems.
My suggestion would be that if you're going to spend important money on a used camera, it should be a certified refurb from Canon's online store. Since you're new to cameras and therefore probably don't know what to look for, buying just any used camera, even one with a provably low shutter count, is a dangerous gamble. In any case, a high shutter count is only one of quite a number of problems that can exist in a used camera. There are programs that claim to be able to read the shutter count, but Canon does not stand behind them. If it means that much to you, limit yourself to sellers who can document the shutter count with a certification from Canon. You can't send it to Canon, but the person trying to sell it to you can. Is there any way to check the shutter count myself during inspection for purchase.
Can't send it to Canon with out purchasing it. Dont't know how to check the shutter count. I am new to Cameras and looking forward to buy my first one.
