Youtuber ContinueCrushingTech did a hard-to-watch torture test of the Canon 7D Mark II. Â He put his finger on the shutter button… and just kept it there… all day. Â Yes, even while eating his delicious PB&J for lunch, and while trying to change the channel.
If you're watching the video, skip ahead to 19:20, which is where the shutter finally gives up. Â In the end, the camera went to 199,571 photos before giving up–extremely close to what it's rated for. Â Obviously, shooting the photos all at once heats up the parts and almost certainly made it give up sooner than it probably would under normal use. Â Most shutters go far past the limit they're rated to.
His test was to determine how accurate the shutter rating is that Canon gives to its cameras. Â The Canon 7D Mark II is rated at 200,000 shutter actuations.
