While you are certainly correct that shutter count does not predict when a failure will occur, I can guarantee that a failure WILL occur at some point. It is the only way to approximate how many times the buttons have been pushed, how many files recorded (of course how many times the mirror, and shutter, have been activated), etc. In essence, it IS indicative of one thing: how much the camera has been used to take pictures. I would disagree with this conclusion, and, often, shutter count has a decided effect on resaleable value.

Battery life is great.Do note that the total shutter count is indicative of exactly nothing. Love it.I must admit I have to get use to the on-off switch on the photo selection dial. I bought the 60D because of the HD video and the swivel viewfinder. I know canon will come out with a new 70D but I'm happy with the 60D and it's going to be hard for canon to make me put the 60D in the backup position. My wife likes Sony.but you can't win over everyone.my photos are much better than her Sony lens from my EOS Elan film camera works well with the 60D so I didn't ne ed to buy new lens. My friend, a professional photographer swears by Nikon but admits my photos with the canons are excellent. I've tried Nikon products but i always gravitate back to canon. Shooting sports is fun again and candid shoots of my grandbaby without the flash is great. My 60D works very well in low light and shoots well with the built in flash.

I've been a canon camera buyer for over 45 years and none of my canon cameras from the film cameras (e.g., Ae-1, FTB, rebel, several point and shoot cameras, EOS etc., ) to my digital and video cameras have failed me. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I'm looking forward to many years and thousands of photos worth of enjoyment. The autofocus is q uite quick and accurate, and adjustable in the zones within the viewfinder. I acquired a couple of inexpensive Canon lenses.18-55 macro/zoom, and a 55-250 zoom, both with auto focus and image stabilization. The 60D is rated at 100K shutter activations, and this one was barely used at only 2500 as stated by the seller, verified myself with a separate program once I received it! This is the USA model with Titanium body vs. The price I paid was less than 1/2, more like 1/3 normal MSRP. I have big hands and long fingers, and the 60D body was much bigger than the EOS series so it is more comfortable to hold and operate in my hands. Canon discontinued the 60D with 18Mp sensor this past year to replace with the 70D with 21Mp sensor.

I've wanted a DSLR for years, but couldn't justify the price for a 'hobby' item.
