Everything you need to know about Canon EOS R8 Shutter Life

The Canon EOS R8 is one of Canon's most reliable cameras. With an official rating of 100,000 shutter actuations, it is built to withstand rigorous daily use.

What happens when you exceed 100,000?

It's important to remember that this number is a rating, not a expiration date. Many Canon EOS R8 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 R8, aim for a shutter count below 50% of its rated life (less than 50,000). This ensures you have plenty of room for your own shooting.
