Life Expectancy / Average Shutter Actuations of an A6000 body before problems start occurring?

[Apollwnios]

has informed the company ?

[Vivek]

Interesting Q. one may never know mainly becuase Sony comes up with a new NEX model before the plastic in the mount wears off.

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.

[Apollwnios]

The fact is that Sony does not inform us

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.

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

Congratulations!  It is a swell camera!

Just want to ask, how do you know the shutter actuations of the a6000?

[Austerror]

It should be in the spanner menu somewhere.

 The exif data can be extracted with ExifTool. The various numbers are easily available.

 It's actually a perl script so it'll run anywhere, well almost. Packages at that URL.

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 ?

Shutter mechanism is spring tensioned, electronically controlled. Spring is re tensioned (armed) after each exposure by a small wind motor.
