I was thinking of taking a lot time lapse sequences (for fun and learning not necessarily stock at the moment) and want to know what people think about camera wear. Is it something to be concerned about or not.
I have a 5d MkII as my main camera and a 300D (Rebel) sitting in the draw gathering dust. The 5dMk 2 seems to be overkill if I'm going to resize down to HD video resolution. Seemed like it might be a good use of the 300D to eventually send it to its grave.
From the web it quotes 40,000 shutter life for the 300D and 150,000 for the 5dMkII. How much is it to repair a "worn out" shutter ?
