The answer is simple. Change it. Send to Canon Malaysia. I was told that Canon will not sell parts to repairers. If they get parts it will be through grey imports. So there's only 1 option. :0

I changed NIkon D70 shutter before, RM150-RM200 if my brain served me well.

I have no idea but it would depend on the model. I'll ask Teoh when I see him.

Canon. No idea. Nikon about RM400

RM400 for shutter replacement sounds reasonable, which model is that?

[asmady]

close to RM400 when canon replaced my old 300D

[neosis]

as far as i know, the price vary between models. Entry level cameras are cheaper than proffessional cameras.

[twinny]

30D, quoted RM400.

to those experienced , what was the shutter counts before ur camera shutter die ?:? now my shutter going to 30,000 soon ,have to limit it !!hahah

[neosis]

different models have different limit. The higher end model tends to have higher limit. i.e. D3 or 1D-MkIII said to have 300,000 cycles.

Then I suggest you start saving up 400-500 first and continue to enjoy your passion. Or else you're just taking blank pictures till ur shutter dies cause of the worry.

My guess it the sound of the shutter isn't that consistent at high speeds 1/2000
