I might be mistaken, but I thought that the 5D had a ~30k exposure shutter, like the D30/D60/10D/20D. My D60's shutter blew a bit under 30k frames a few months back, and it was really annoying. Unfortunately, it's really hard to search for this sort of information, and I've seen people claiming that the 20d and 5d are both rated for 100k frames. I'd love to have a definitive source for this.
