Does anyone know what the Shutter life is on the Mark IV? I'm assuming it's surpassed the 150K by now
pwp said:I'd expect the shutter will be unchanged from the 5D MkIII. I'm on my third shutter in my 5D MkIII. They tend to last around 130k. CPS verifies this is fairly typical. You might get lucky and get one that will do a million clicks and still run fine.

This seems like a ripoff. You sent in in for cleaning and they mandatorily replaced the shutter even though it was still running fine? No way I would have agreed to that...cphoto said:CPS did not give me any option than replacing the shutter on my 7D when I sent it for cleaning and they saw the 177K actuations; cost to replace the shutter was $380, mostly labor cost.

What memory CF brand are you using with Mark IV?pwp said:I can never remember. It's a relatively modest amount, the inconvenience is a greater cost.
Maybe around $300. That's a potentially unreliable guess.
Short shutter life of 5 Series bodies hardens my resolve to get a 1DX MkII.

Ditto with a 5D Classic...over 800k when I gave it to an assistant who used it for ages. I've never put a new shutter in a 1-Series, most have been retired at around the 500-600k mark, all original.Murdy said:Only slightly off topic, but I had a 5D mk1 that failed at almost 900k and that was only because I got sand in the shutter, otherwise (I assume) it would have gone on longer. My mk3 is currently at 600k with no problems (famous last words).

My long retired high mileage 5D was unaffected. This will be the case for the majority of 5D classics.
