Anyway....a numptie question, or 3.....
When a shutter activation life is quoted for a camera body, is it the actual diaphragm opening or mirror mechanism movement that's being measured as the limiting factor?
Which leads on to the second question...are shutter activation numbers relevant for a mirrorless camera?
Which leads onto my third question....what sort of wear and tear does videoing impart on a camera?
The reason for this brain freeze moment is, I am just selling my wife's LUMIX and although I can quote the number of photos she has taken, I cannot specify, nor even know if it's relevant, how many hours videoing it has done. (Which for my wife, will be loads more than photos!)
So as the title should have said, in specifying shutter activation as a key indicator of working life, are we missing other key activities that could limit the life expectancy of a modern camera? Ok that 4 questions
