I have no idea on the Nikon D70 durability. My use counts thus far on
several cameras:
Sony DSC-F707 - 13,000 exposures - gave to friend and still going
(2002-)
Sony DSC-F717 - 8,000 exposures - sold (2003)
Canon 10D - 18,000 exposures - still going (2003-)
Panasonic FZ10 - 9,000 exposures - sold to friend, still going (2004-)
Konica Minolta A2 - 7,000 exposures - still going (2004-)
Pentax DS (#1) - 8,400 exposures - still going (2005-)
Nothing unusual in my use thus far, just a decent amount of regular
shooting with each. I've not had a single problem with any of them.
That's why I'm most interested in what the failures are.

Yesterday, while I was at a customer's premises (a photo industry
company) I heard that few Nikon D70's are capable to exceed
6,000-7,000 shots before their shutters get kaputt.
Does anyone else heard such gossip? Sylwek?
That does not speak well of the durability of the istD, but it
might be
helpful to know how you've been using the cameras, in what
environments,
and what had to be repaired. Personally, I never thought of
DSLR's as "20
year" cameras.
