Hi all,
I just finished editing my first time-lapse video requiring 4500 shots taken over >14h. I hope that you like it:
Basically, I used up 10% of my shutter life for this --> Ouch!
So although I really liked the experience ( except for getting up early), I'll probably go easy on time-lapse to get a bit of life out of my camera. Do time-lapse photographers really go through that many cameras (ie 1 camera body / 10-20 long time-lapses) or is it trivial to have the shutter unit replaced?
For shutter concern try low FPS in movie mode
Wow, what a beautiful, lively sky! Really love it, and the rainbow is just overkill! :)
Great job on the video!
I've been wondering about shutter life too. 100,000 clicks in a T2i per Canon.
Anyone have any real life experience here? How long does a shutter really last?
spectacular, a whole day with this video.

I think this is what I will do now if a scene doesn't require bulb ramping.

Ha- yes that was lucky but then again we get a lot of rain and rainbows this time of year...
From what I've read, $150-200 in the US for shutter/mirror-box replacement, depending on model. These might be CPS prices (only if you are a registered pro).
Thanks, it appears to be tiny bit more expensive here in New Zealand but it's not too unreasonable, I guess. Does the mirror flick back-and-forth if I use bulb-ramping, which seems to make use of live-view?
Very nice. Added to MLCinema
