Canon tells me that the cost for a shutter replacement is approximately 400.
Canon 5d mkii shutter replacement cost.
I suggest it may be good deal.
The canon corporate service training program offers corporate customers who own a large number of canon imaging products a cost effective alternative to conventional equipment service.
If you see yourself as someone who can fix complicated gadgets from youtube videos then you can save yourself the hassle and money.
I was shooting a panorama when horizontal black bars started appearing in some of the shots.
My monument valley video utilized over 20 000 time lapse clicks a large portion of my overall count.
Canon rates the shutter of the eos 5d mark ii at 150 000 actuations.
In our country the shutter replacement will cost 800 900 dollars.
This is where you will end up spending most of your money.
The shutter on my old canon 5d mark ii died while on a trip to fiji earlier this year.
My bill for the shutter replacement this time on my 5d mk iii was 219 00 which to me is quite cheap for the peace of mind it brings.
That s no guarantee of what your price will be but this gives you a ballpark idea.
If you do not approve the repair estimate repairs will not be made your camera and or lens will be returned to you and you will not incur any charges for canon maintenance service.
There s only about a 1 in 8 chance that the shutter will fail at between 100 000 and 150 000 actuations.
This would be between 200 250 dollars easily.
So the cost for that video was 40 assuming the shutter needs replaced at 200k.
