The shutter endurance I saw quoted for the Nex-7, which I can't find now, was 150,000+.

 

So if you are using the EFCS, that would be greater than 150k photos.  I don't know how many photos I've taken on my Nex-7, but its 10s of thousands.

 

I expect the A6000 to be at least as durable.

According to http://tools.science.si/index.php, I had taken over 201,550 photos as of March 10th with my Sony Nex-5N. It continues to be an absolutely fantastic camera. I use it just about every day since I purchased it from Amazon back in January 2012. I am looking forward to a new successor to the Nex-5 cameras with the new Sony Alpha cameras. Here's hoping for an a7000 with a touch screen.

 

Detected Camera model : NEX-5N

| | | | Sony_Tag9050_0x0034 = 3
(65536 * 3) + (256 * 19) + 78 = 201550

Congratulations!  It is a swell camera!

It's got to be better than the Leica M8. Peak rate of failures for the original shutter seems to be around 15000. However Leica do replace the shutter regardless of age and warranty as a goodwill gesture,

 

As an freebee, I doubt this! Leica repair costs are really on a high school!

It is so, I speak from experience. My 2010  M8 shutter was replaced last year. I had to pay postage and a small charge for an unconnected repair but the camera got a new shutter and wind mechanism and full clean and adjustment free of charge.

Wind mechanism ? Not winding film, winding what ?

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
