No, I quite expected that. I was after all using the camera
professionaly, not as a daily newspaper shooter but still a lot and in
somke rougher conditions nevertheless. It has paid for itself quickly. It's
just paying for my rent that it does slower, but that's not the
camera's fault ;-)
BTW, here I would kindly disagree with you Rob, I don't except any
consumer DSLR like the D70 or IstDS to work faultlessly after 100K
exposures. Remember that the big pro cameras with oversized shutters
like F5 were rated at about that number by the manufacturer, before
needed bigger servicing, and I simply don't except the smaller shutter
units of the cheaper cameras to last as long. Or maybe not shutters
but mirror assemblies. Sure, there is less mass, but also more
plastic. And they are marketed as commodity items.
I know, that's all speculation. At least on my part, for all I know
you could have sounder information :-)
So take what I wrote with a big grain of salt, don't be afraid of
using your camera ;-)
So, anybody want's to test it with his IstD or IstDS? Using PC with Pentax
Remote Assistant, I think it would be simple to use DC adapter and
shoot 100K of exposures in rather a short time ;-)
Good light!
