![]() Canon rates the shutter of the EOS 5D Mark II at 150,000 actuations. There's only about a 1 in 8 chance that the shutter will fail at between 100,000 and 150,000 actuations. What else is likely to go wrong in the short run other than the shutter. If it does have 150K actuations, then this is a heavily used camera. It looks like the failure rates begin to increase right bang on the 100,000 mark, which is the typical lifespan spec for Canon's shutter mechanism, iirc.īased on a Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis of the submitted data, you have about a 3 in 4 chance of making it to between 250,000 and 500,000 and a 2 in 3 chance of making it to between 500,000 and 1,000,000 actuations. Once people start to get their hands on the 1DX and the 5D Mark III, Ill bet there will be a whole bunch of 5D Mark IIs competing for buyers on the used market. The page states:Īverage number of actuations after which shutter is still alive: 137,709.5Īverage number of actuations after which shutter died: 171,076.9 The graph is based on a survey from 5DMkII owners, who navigated to the site themselves, about when their shutters failed/are still alive. ![]() You may also want to look at this website: To me, your question's equivalent car shopping question is: Would you buy a 2008/2009 used car with 120,000 miles on it for 1/5 of what it went for new?
