They say the shutter should last to about 150 000 clicks so i just had them replace the shutter as well as i felt it be going soon anyway.
Canon 5d mark ii shutter replacement price.
Do people go way past 150 000 actuations without any trouble.
The mark iii released 4 years after the mark ii features an upgraded sensor iso up to 25600 and a 61 point wide area autofocus system identical to the canon eos 1dx supplemented with canon s proprietary intelligent tracking and recognition itr.
They did a count on the shutter and it had 427 000 clicks.
But people also go past 60 000 miles on their car without replacing the timing belt.
The canon 5d mark ii parts catalog google can dig it up is handy to refer to while going through this guide.
Canon 5d mark ii vs canon 5d mark iii.
While the mark iii is a fabulous camera that largely mitigates the autofocus.
How does it compare.
Total cost to fix the mirror box and new shutter was 457 00.
Canon tells me that the cost for a shutter replacement is approximately 400.
My monument valley video utilized over 20 000 time lapse clicks a large portion of my overall count.
Just stick a fingernail in there and pull them all.
So the cost for that video was 40 assuming the shutter needs replaced at 200k.
My 5d mk 3 finally crossed the 150 000 cycle mark on its shutter actuations so i sent it off to canon s irvine service center for replacement.
