Should there be some savings? I think so. Hard to go on solely one hypothetical thing.
If camera was otherwise pristine, or if knew the person, that changes things. Of course it's just one of several factors. Maybe 150 or so off a typical used version. I'm thinking more If I was in the market I would say maybe 15% off the the trending mean value for used. Hmm how much would you consider good low? $400?Ĥ00 would be too low and a steal. There's a few 100 used ones all the time just on ebay, much less all the camera stores/craigslist ads,etc. My earlier point was the price would need to be really low, 6d's are a dime a dozen. But different shutters and cars have different lifes. And I've sold a few without about that much, so somebody is getting them. Would you buy a used car with 153,000 miles on it? I always tend to equate shutter clicks with miles on a car. Sure, I'd take a low-shutter option if presented with one, but assumptions based on not even seeing the body in question and/or its price is unhelpful. And you under estimate how quickly shots build up when the owner of the device is a bird-in-flight shooter, who racks up lots of shots with a single press of the shutter button. It looks almost new, with no gunk build up and all buttons & slots in fine working condition. I have a very well used 6D based on shutter clicks, but the body is well maintained. I think you are making too many assumptions.

A well kept 1 series is probably the only DSLR body I'd consider purchasing with over 100K on the shutter unless the price was just ridiculously low. But given the choice I'll take the low mileage body every time. Yes, the shutter can fail on exposure number 2 or 200K.nothing is guaranteed. And since the 6D is not a machine gunner where users typically pile up thousands actuations per outing, that tells me it's been around the block a few times. Buttons, dials, mirror & motor, I/O ports, card slots, cosmetic condition, "gunk" buildup, etc. Shutters are not the only items susceptible to wear and tear on a camera. I think that's over simplifying it a bit. On the other hand, if you can find a low-shutter-count body for close to the same price, you will at least feel better about the purchase, but know that the shutter could go bad the very next day.Įven if you buy new, you will still have to pay to replace the shutter if it goes bad inside the first year, unless some tech-support boss inside Canon decides to be nice to you. People who only buy low-shutter-count cameras are simply fooling themselves if they think shutter count means anything real. If you fear that, then simply do not buy a used camera. The shutter can go bad on any camera at any time. Is this worth considering, or I should look elsewhere? I am serious.and don't call me Shirley.I am looking for a used Canon 6D and have seen on ebay one with shutter count 153000, but the shutter was replaced and has actual shutter count about 3000. A body with a 250k count is obviously worth less than the same body with a 10k count if all other conditions are equal. They are useful along with many other factors to go together in helping you determine the value of a used camera. If it really worries you, just get a mack warranty and be done with it.ĭon't get me wrong. My advice is to just get it and don't even worry yourself by doing a shutter count. But on the refurb you hopefully saved more than enough to cover the cost of a new shutter. On either you have the same likelihood of failure at any given point. If the shutter fails after the warranty period, your odds aren't going to be any higher and it won't fail any sooner really than if you started with a 0 count new body. If the shutter fails in the warranty period, it gets replaced. If you get the same warranty that a new one gets, I wouldn't worry about it at all. The brand new zero click camera could fail at 10k clicks 1 day after the end of the warranty while your refurb at 5k clicks could run for 300k. And you have absolutely no way of knowing which one yours is going to be. If you have a body rated at 150k clicks, it just means that just as many fail before 150k clicks as they do after. The shutter life expectation is kind of misleading. Shutter counts can be from testing done while working on it. Even a 5000 count doesn't mean that is doesn't have a brand new shutter in it. Shutter actuations don't tell you much of anything.
