Nikon D5 good for 400,000 shutter clicks?

I was just on Borrowlenses and noticed they list this camera for 400,000 photos.  Is that accurate?  www.borrowlenses.com/blog/shutter-count/

Seriously that is badass.  But curious why this is double of other Nikon cameras like the D850 for example?

Sounds about right, these cameras were built to last.  I know a guy who had 248,000 shutter clicks on his D800.

Shooting at high speed rate with a flagship body requires heavy
duty mirror assembly… you get what you pay for. Reaching 400k
is not surprising with a single digit but I would have it refreshed
after a cooling down time. :P

Light is free… capturing it is not!

~200,000 is what it's rated for??  400,000 is nuts.

Not if one is a sports photographer… it is quite normal
for that single digit, unless a very rare case of bad luck!
