Shutter count question

Let's see?...If you shoot about 550 shots a day, the camera would be nearing a million shutter slaps in about five years. None of my bodies are in the running.....
Why so serious?

When you think about sports photographers or even wedding photographers who have owned their cameras for a number of years, this is possible.

Yeah pretty much my thinking as well. For many of the upper end sports shooters, they have more than one body, and lens combination, and they get new bodies with just about every new model release. Other pros such as wedding will maybe for some keep a body up to 3, or 4 years anymore. So either group may hit the approximated shuuter life, or exceed it, but not by a whole lot.
My D300 may have a whole 20K if I am luck on it, or slightly more. Though the body does look like it should have a couple of million. Now there may be some film cameras with major shutter counts on them. But with digitals they do not generally get used nearly as long as the film cameras did.
