Why not have another Survey? K10 shutter count

2007-12-10 Thread cbwaters
Seems like it's the season for surveys.  Here's another one:

What's your shutter count up to on your K10D?

I go through long periods where it seems nothing in my world sparks 
photographic interest, so mine is only at 2137

I'd say you should reply to me off-list so I can tabulate... but I know you 
lot will save the extra step and just reply to the list anyway.

Yup. Less than 3300. My problem is with 6 Dslr's, i take one out for a
bit, then the other, etc etc.

I have around 20,000 on the D1, (previous owner thinks he put 50-60 K
on it) around 11500 on the D1H (since i bought it last year), D2H has
about 16000 and the D200 some were around 8000.

I have driven the close areas looking for my old barns and farm
equipment and now i have to travel at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours one way,
to get to areas not previously covered.

Need motivation.:-)

or about 550 exposures/month, which is about 15

Re: Why not have another Survey? K10 shutter count

2007-12-10 Thread ntax
Last photo I took (and kept) before sending my K10D off for repair was number 
2580.  I've owned the camera for one year now, but I'm something of a 
conservative photographer: I don't like shooting a dozen shots of one subject, 
unless there's a lot of action.

This is probably because of two things:

1. Not being able to afford to shoot a whole lot back when I was in college and 
learning photography.

2. Only having one 1gb card when I had the *istD.  Now I've got two 2gb and one 
4gb, so I've started loosening up a bit the last few months, but I still try to 
make every shot count.
