I _think_ - writing off the top of my head, and feel free to correct me - that the Canon models of SLR are rated at 500,000 or 1,000,000 shutter actuations. I don't think models like the Digital Rebel are rated, as such, but I think have read on forums that these are expected to be good for at least 1/2 as many as the pro models. Stroller.
