Everything you need to know about Canon EOS R1 Shutter Life

The Canon EOS R1 is one of Canon's most reliable cameras. With an official rating of 500,000 shutter actuations, it is built to withstand rigorous daily use.

What happens when you exceed 500,000?

It's important to remember that this number is a rating, not a expiration date. Many Canon EOS R1 cameras continue to work perfectly at 300,000 or even 500,000 actuations. However, as you pass the rated limit, the risk of mechanical shutter failure increases.

💡 Pro Tip for Used Buyers

When buying a used Canon EOS R1, aim for a shutter count below 50% of its rated life (less than 250,000). This ensures you have plenty of room for your own shooting.
