[QUOTE="Fork, post: 172762, member: 10937"] Everything above the D7000 has a focus motor (I didn't look that up, so correct me if I'm wrong). I've never seen one die, but then I've never seen a shutter mechanism die either. The link that Riverside provided about shutter actuations on the D3100 was interesting. If you look at the submissions that people send in of their shutter counts and the little red/green dead/alive icons, the vast majority of those that have died have died before even 10,000 shutters, let alone 100,000. That kind of leads me to suspect that cameras that die before say, 50,000 are probably the unlucky ones where a screw/glue came loose. I reckon the chances are that the longer they've lasted, the longer they're likely to continue to last. Either way, if people keep getting hung up on how many times a shutter has been clicked, they'll never take any photos for fear of breaking it. [/QUOTE]
