[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 279306, member: 9237"] I see where you're coming from, but understand that cameras are a lot more resilient than you think. I mean, when was the last time you heard of a camera like that having that sort of issue at 24k clicks? Especially from someone you know well? Especially a gear-head that you know well? Of course the shutter will die. Eventually. But the thing is, how many years of use will I get out if it? Three months or (more likely) three + years? My bet is on a camera of this caliber, 4+ years is about right, and even then there are D90's that are still going strong, far outliving their estimated lifespan on the shutter mechanism. Granted, if I were buying say, a 3200 or similar I wouldn't be buying used :p This just happened to fall into my lap from a good photographer friend who I trust and know well. [/QUOTE]
