Thanks for the assurance.
By the way, what are the indications that you need to change the shuttle?
NASA changes their shuttles now .. some served more than 20 years. But they are still unsure about the replacement.By the way, what are the indications that you need to change the shuttle?
The announcement for the Nikon D7000 said something like "the D7000 was tested to 150,000 shuttle actuations whereas the D90 was tested only to 100,000 shuttle actuations".
Does this means that if my D90 has a shuttle count exceeding 100,000, it is screwed? What is the failure rate of the camera after exceeding that amount? Any clue?
if the shutter unit failed before reaching 100k after 1yr , how come there's no warranty cover for it :dunno:
It's not a feature or characteristic that has been assured to you. It is a normal expectant life span and serves as orientation / additional information. Ever seen any plumber giving you an guaranteed amount of flush actuations for your toilet? :bsmilie: But we now that after some years it will need a replacement.if the shutter unit failed before reaching 100k after 1yr , how come there's no warranty cover for it :dunno:
Because it's after 1 year. If you only have a 1 year warranty, your shutter actuations don't matter at all. The shutter actuation ratings are NOT a part of warranty.
Again, CSC will not care about NASA equipment (shuttle), only about the shutter of your camera. Got it?Hang on... follow up question... if I shuttle fails before the 1 year warranty, will they change it for free you think? Or will they see the shuttle count and say "sorry, you took too many shots. Cannot repair for free."

Check the warranty terms and conditions. Is there any term describing 'excessive use' of your camera? If not, then chances are they will replace your shutter if it fails within warranty period, regardless what shutter count you have. It doesn't matter much what we suspect here, there are legal terms already in place. You have agreed to these warranty terms the moment you purchased the camera.

Generally how much does it cost for a shuttle change? Any idea?

u can learn from tung tong... ;p he told me he can change his shutter a few times per year
When this happens:
Jokes aside, you change your shutter when it stops working.
So far clear. But I guess TS just wants to have somebody to blame and claim a free replacement The age-old oxymoron: reasonable customer expectations :bsmilie:Its just a MTTF (mean time to failure). Typically a bell shaped distribution centered around the given value (100K in the case of the D90). Failure can always happen before or after the MTTF.
I can confirm that, so many camera in B&S has lower than 20k shutter counts. lol
The guys in Traditional Darkroom have their own mixtures, maybe you want to give it a try? One coffee for you and one coffee for the rollI have an old Pentax from the 70s era and still working fine. Problem is less and less shops will wash the negatives for you.
Well, NASA is retiring the space shuttle, so don't worry. You'll never be able to shoot 100,000 shuttles.
