How many shutter actuation's would be considered a lot these days?

Maybe in the digital age that seems like a lot. I bought my Pentax MX in 76" and shot with it till around 99", so it has way more than 300K in shutter releases. Also the shutter in that one is a rubberized silk material. Still have it, and I imagine that if I were to load it up, it would still fire off a roll of film. It is a totally mechanical camera, and the only thing the batteries were for is the light meter.

...before she died and became a paper weight.
It is kind of a shame isn't it that 700K is considered way above a cameras working life, is it not?
Oh well I will take the convenience of not dealing with developing or waiting for a roll of film to run out to change the ISO.

Shame there are no current databases out there for this.
No, probably not irrelevant, although newer equipment does better at MTBF on shutter actuations. This data is more useful for buying used, I think, which is just fine.
We'll just have to trust the statements from the manufacturers.
