> A "good" shutter count varies depending on the camera model. Entry-level and mid-range DSLR cameras typically have a shutter count rating between 100,000 and 200,000, while professional-grade cameras can range between 400,000 and 500,000. When purchasing a second-hand camera, it's best to choose one with shutter count well below its rating.

I don't know what's accurate.

This top-search-hit other site has some "Average number of actuations after which shutter died" data is for some older models.

Consumer (lowest, 69K): https://olegkikin.com/shutterlife/canon_eos1000d.htm

Prosumer (98K): https://olegkikin.com/shutterlife/canon_eos30d.htm

That's average, so, if that data is reasonably representative of units in the the wild (I don't know), I'd think a trustworthy rating (and safe expectation) would be lower than that.

The reasons I mentioned shutter life was because I wanted to know how the scanning projects using DSLRs managed that, and also, to suggest to anyone dropping money on a DSLR for this that shutter life might be a cost consideration.
