I should think that use would exert more wear on a shutter than age. But then, if the camera has sat unused for a long period and the lubricant has dried out, subsequent use with dry lubricant may cause premature wear.Office Guy wrote: Ha! I'm dumping off all my questions today. But I just posted a question about my Nikon D800, which is getting up there in age. I have 137,823 shots on it. After I posted my question (in Nikon section here) another question came to mind: Is a camera likely to fail because of AGE before actual shutter actuations? Does age accelerate or reduce rated shutter actuations that is given to camera from manufacture?

Correct. Actually, the D800 is only 10 tears old, so I don't see where age would affect anything, mechanical or electronics.Office Guy wrote:

So assuming lubricant was up to snuff, shutter actuations wouldn't be effected by age?
