It was probably used in an industrial process taking high-speed burst pictures. That would explains the general lack of wear

The 5D mark II is a tank in photography services especially in Vietnam, where lots of people still buy and sell it regularly and use it for multiple low-cost studio services. I've seen lots of 5D mark II that have shutter counts over 1 mil, but never over 2 mil like this one!

- Time lapses
- Industrial usage
- Airport, school, institutional usage
- Photo studio usage

Would be cool if the original owner found this vid and dropped the camera's life story. Neat stuff!

I saw a 1DX with 1.4 million shutter counts today. It's just amazing that these cameras are going way beyond their shutter lives!!

Don’t let Canon see this video. They might get some cost saving ideas 😂

My 5D II's were still going strong when I retired them at 261, 000 and 282, 000. The only camera that I shot the shutter out of was a Nikon F with motor drive that I used to shoot sports back in ancient times. The shutter just came apart at 74, 000 plus frames. Cameras are amazingly durable these days.

Probably used for shooting timelapses (would still add up to roughly 24h of timelapse footage)

I love how you censored the logo in the thumbnail when every photographer in the world instantly recognizes the body of a canon 5D 😅

[andreienea]

Damn, 2 milion photos, what a monster

[jabezhane]

As mentioned I've seen some million plus 5D's that have sat for months doing time lapses on big building projects.

The shutter life is more or less just an estimate as to how long a camera's shutter will last on average. That doesn't mean it will stop working when it reaches the advertised count, and some people will get more or less than what the advertised life is. That being said, it is possible if you're lucky to get 2M+ photos on a camera, if you don't mind paying to have the shutter replaced a few times (assuming you can get 200-300k shots per replacement). On some of the more expensive models, this might be worth it as a shutter replacement can cost about $300 each time, and if you do it 5 times for a camera that costs $3000+ it might make sense versus buying another camera. On consumer grade ($500-$1000 cameras) it generally doesn't make sense to replace the shutter more than once. I wouldn't do it on a camera that was less than bout $600-700 though as being a break-even point because you'll have spent about half the value of the camera on a new shutter. But I have heard of some people also going well over 500k shots on their pro bodies before needing replacement. How you treat the camera will also impact how long the shutter lasts.

I paid 200 for my 60D with 250k on the shutter. 200 for a 5D miii is fantastic even just for a video rig.

As a photojournalist, I've heared about several Nikon D700 that had their shutters replaced only after 1 million shots and the same about the Nikon D5. D700's expected shutter life time is 150k actuations, D5's-400k. By the way: My Nikon D610 with 170+k shutter actuations looks not as good as this 5D Mari II, so this 5D is in the great shape

Probably used in some photo studio for passport and school photos

My 5D MK 2 has survived since 2011 when I bought it, it traveled the world with me, currently now its shutter count is 321191. I am still using it as my backup camera :-) it is an amazing machine.

[warrenrae]

Just recently bought 5d mark 2 with 71, 000 shutter count for £169 here in UK from a local camera shop with a six month warranty. Really love the handling and quality of video straight out of camera. Hope i can get it up to 2 milion shutter count 🙏 which will take me many years🙂

[OneTrueLegend]

It's crazy how high that shutter count is per year. I had my nikon camera for nearly 4 years and it's only got a shutter count of 28605.

[sambalsamurai]

Test it to the limit! Suggestion: Make a timelapse photo/movie of your life/interior untill the camera DIES.
Jot down that number, make us bet: A)2.5M+ B) 3.0M+ C) 3.5M+ D)5.0M+ and choose a winner who received this unique camera with a cool story. Then upload the video of the interior/life in high speed X100 as a tribute.

Crazy, I have a Nex-3 that has 97k Shutter actuation's hopefully it lasts another 97k (i dont use it much anymore tho lol)
