It seems that photographers are doing what you would expect them to do with digital and shooting hundreds of frames for each shoot where they would have shot dozens before. I seem to remember that the life of a D1x shutter is only 150,000 exposures which you'll hit pretty quickly if you shoot 1,000 frames a day consistently as the dealer said some pros had been doing. Buying a used digital camera could be very costly if you need to get the shutter repaired. I had a Fuji S2 for a couple of months and I must have shot 1,500 frames with it which is about my average for 2 years with my M6.
