I think that replacing the shutter on most pro-sumer cameras is a good investment, if you need it. Bodies with 400,000 and 500,000 click shutter lives, cost way more than the replacement cost of a shutter.
Was wondering about that. A local studio is closing and the owner has two 1Ds MkII bodies on the local CL. One is just under $1600 and has 300k actuations. That still leaves a 100k, I believe, which would last me for years, but I was wondering how much shutter replacement costs.
