Description Sorry, I don't have the time to find better pictures. But it is better than nothing
So here we have a night heron looking for food (don't ask me who put this food just in front of me ). Picture done on Oleron island. It is a quite old picture, done with my old buddy the 350D (this poor boy have now more than 388 000 picture count ! )

350D and 380.000 photos? Haha that's awesome. How often did you change/repair the shutter?

It is amazing but it is still the same . I haven't changed the shutter. But I changed the shutter of my 400D after 110 000 pictures. They are very sturdy !!!
Even today, I use my 350D as a backup camera.

You gotta be (really) kidding me. My 450D has about 30.000 now I think. And I'm not sure for how long it will work. I hope it will work up to 60.000 or so. That would be great

The cost of a new shutter would be 200-300€ and that's so much that I can almost buy me a used 50D, and that is what I will probably do then.

It is something you couldn't predict... so just cross your fingers that it will last for many pictures.

Yes... it is so expensive to change a shutter I don't like it but our camera could almost be seen as disposable. But if you are good at repairs, it is not so hard to change it (I have already done it with my 400D with the shutter of another broken 400D a friend gave me). It is almost 8h of work.

Yes, but you must know that many birds are opportunists and it is their way to find food

Thanks. Yes, I am amazed also, but I used it everyday for 3 years. It is a very good boy... but I prefer not to show his state

Haha, I guess there are some cameras that shouldn't be kept in a cage.
