Who has the most used camera?

My E-5 has 60k+ on it (since Jan 2011). The E-M5 has only about 10k on it. Total, I reckon on about 30,000 per year.

Re: Who has the most used camera?

I seem to remember that the E1/E3/E5 have shutters designed for 150,000 actuations and the other DSLR's for about 30,000.

I shoot about 5-6000 images per year, spread over 3-4 cameras, so I have no expectation of wearing one out anytime soon....

Re: Who has the most used camera?

My E-520 got near retirement after I bought the E-30. Sometimes I attached it to the microscope and my wife picks it up once in a while; it has just over 30000 actuations now. Still working fine.

The E-30 I've not read out for quite a while as I have a little fear the numbers might be quite high, but as of now she has only 41500 actuations. I hope she will last until I can put an E-7 beside her

Re: Who has the most used camera?

I haven't checked numbers but I expect my OM-D, which is about 6 months old now, to catch up on my Leica M8, which I'm surprised to discover is now 5 years old, quite quickly.

The M8 has done about 14000 actuations but they are nearly all composed single shots whereas the OM-D gets used for machine gunning subjects in burst mode and for things like HDR and multiple exposure bracketing. 99% of OM-D pics get rejected, only about 75% of M8.

It's a bit like the John West ad:

Re: Who has the most used camera?

I misread the title of this post and thought it said, "Who has the most used CAMERAS?" As I have enough old film cameras to open a shop, I was about to claim the title. Then I looked at the posts and realised my mistake!

I hesitate to mention it on this forum but the camera which is getting the most usage just now is my Nikon V1 (1200 shots in just over a month). I love my E3 and use it for anything important and for stuff I'm doing for other people but for sheer convenience (small and lightweight) the V1 is hard to beat.
