Canon 5d Mark Iii Shutter Replacement

The shutter on my old canon 5d mark ii died while on a trip to fiji earlier this year.

Canon 5d mark iii shutter replacement.

I was shooting a panorama when horizontal black bars started appearing in some of the shots. However high shutter mileage means the supporting hardware is worn and thus the mirror box needs to be replaced as well hence the 640 estimate. It s rated at 150 000 but i know of some 5d3 s that are well over a million and still working. Its a well used camera the shutter gave up after 220159 x shutter counts.

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. I would say 1100 is a fair price for that camera.

See the whole camera disassembling process. So for around 1500 you could have a virtually new camera if you had to replace the shutter. That s no guarantee of what your price will be but this gives you a ballpark idea. With 100 000 shutter cycles on a prosumer camera i bet canon automatically replaces the works not merely the shutter.

New shutter bought.
