That > Canon 5 shutter must be worn out in a fortnight. I don't believe this. They were comments the article's author received from some professional photographers and he did not believe them, he reduced 10, 000 digital images per shooting day to 3, 000 and he also reduced the number of shoot-days in a year from between 52 and 104 to 26 for his cost comparison. During our travel to climb the Lanin volcano my son took about 600 images along one week with his digital camera despite photography was a secondary point for us, I took 72 photographs, 48 with the 3.5F and 24 with the Rolleiflex SL 35M, however I obtained the same number of usable images regarding my son's images because he took a lot of images about the same subject and/or situation or about no interesting subjects, you have a pretty hard task to select the best images afterwards; it looks like the approach as photographer is different according you use film or digital regarding the number of images to take, the difference is more significant if you hardly or you never shot film as it's the case for my son.
