I have seen many posts on Buy and Sell that advertised cameras that are:
"lightly used", "backup", "not much used", "used for hobby"

but then reported a shutter count like 10-20K and above.

Honestly, it took me quite sometime (1.5-2 years) to go to 10K.
That is even when I was travelling 3-4 trips a year.

I guess I want to seek opinions what can be called "lightly used" or "hobby" camera in terms of shutter count.

cheers all
 

it means that the user of the camera has to be less than 40kg.
 

finger presses the shutter release very lightly
 

ah yo ... so troublesome ... now a days for "wink" or "smile" detection lao. No need to press the shutter lao ...
