Bought it used but It looks like a new camera and I have had it for 2 years and used it very little. How could I get a shutter count this large? Firnware is updated.

It is amazingly capable photo software for $35, and you can try it for free. It will retrieve EXIF data from any file that contains it, as well as blowing Photoshop Elements away for less than half the price.

Well, maybe not everything, but most of the stuff <a href="http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16492" rel="nofollow">Nikon publishes</a>, anyway. :) That link has a very good explanation of "mean time between failures" (MTBF), which, while not <em>precisely</em> accurate is pretty good for practical purposes. Impressively, even the lowly D5000 has a 100,000-cycle shutter. Why, The Sports Photo Guy knows everything there is to know about Nikon cameras!

The D300 and D700 share the same 150,000 shutter rating. Both, in my experience, very solid cameras. Did you know the D3 is rated for 300,000 shutter actuations!

Note that this is an average; the shutter could fail at 10 cycles or 1,000,000. Personally, I would consider anything over 50-60,000 as fairly high and would lower my offer accordingly. Shutter replacements typically run around $400. If I recall correctly, the D2X shutter is rated at 100,000 cycles. Note that this is an average; the shutter could fail at 10 cycles or 1,000,000.
