What are the symptoms it wil give before nearing the shutter death?
And how do I know it is dead? Like it cannot fire anymore, blank screen, cannot switch on or what?
I cannot afford for it to happen in the middle of an assignment.
Some pros do a preventive maintenance. They send their camera for regular check up or even get shutter replaced after the camera has reached a very high shutter count
Usually pros have a back up camera (and lens) because anything can happen, not only shutter failure.
How to check if it's shutter failure? If an error occurs, you can manually lift the mirror (with extreme care, don't touch the shiny part with sweaty fingers), behind the mirror is the shutter. It should be fully closed with no signs of damage.
But actually, no point checking, you can't do anything anyway. Just send it for repair
Here's an example of a damaged shutter. It's not Nikon but it looks almost similar
Usually, the whole shutter assembly is replaced but sometimes the blades only can also be replaced
Here's how the blades looks like. The one on top is the damaged blade. the two at the bottom are new blades
Just use the last photo taken by the camera and use in any exif viewer software. One of them is Opandahow to check for shutter count? by the running number on our photo taken?
D4 to 400K so we all better go buy one... lolz
Don't worry so much with shutter count. My "dinosaur" DSLR has exceeded 400k but still refuse to die. No excuse to upgrade
And even if the shutter fails, it's repairable. Even a non-Nikon technician can replace shutter, sometimes at a better rate.

Yes, it is a great camera, and also my first DSLR, it the father of D200, Ah Gong of D300, still going strong in uncle fatigue's hands. :thumbsup:D100.
D100.
I'm using that too! But you know the price of a D100... I EXPECT it to hit 1 million clicks... :angry:
Very nice ah.. Hahahah, example, the Nikon F5 supposedly rated for 150k? Apparently some people shot over a million and its still working, as said by everyone, that's the estimation, I have friends whose camera is rated for only 50k, they've gone past that to about 100k or more, if its too old and you are looking a reason to upgrade, as zerocoolastra said, you can use it as a paper weight hahaha
