Nikon D7200 Shutter Life Expectancy

From https://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d7200.htm:


My D7200 has low shutter count so I'm expecting to be able to use it for 10 years or so.

Nikon D7000 Shutter Life Expectancy

Since I've purchased the D7200, I wanted to tell the D7000.  I became curious as to how long it will keep working.  The shutter count is around 86,700.

Here is a graph of actual shutter counts before a D7000 would die from https://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d7000.htm:


So, the survival rate seems to drop drastically after 50,000 actuations.  Is my D7000 on its last leg?  There are a couple of cameras still going strong after 500K actuactions!  I'd be happy if mine reaches Nion's stated shutter life of 150K which appears to me like an overstatement if the estimated survival rate is only about 60%.

Life expectancy of the D80

Back in June 2009 (http://photonfarmers.blogspot.com/2009/06/d80-actuations.html) I made a reference to this website that records the number of shutter actuations of various DSLRs before the shutter died. I thought I'd capture it once here so in case the site disappears I have a record of it. Make sure to visit the original site for the most up-to-date data.

Average number of actuations after which shutter died: 38,059.7

D80 actuations

At the rate that I shoot, I fear my D80 will die from too many shutter actuations. I wondered then how many actuations it can bear. There is no definitive answer but then I thought some averaging might help.

I found this website where people post their numbers: http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d80.htm

It would appear the chances of the shutter dying increase significantly after 90K clicks.

My D80 might have about 3 more years left to go. By that time, I would have upgraded. I hope.
