750,000 pics - Olympus e10 [PIC]
 

Our 8-yr-old Olympus e10 just rolled over its 750,000th shot this past weekend in the studio.

Although I usually shoot with a Nikon d80 - I still use the e10 in the studio because of its great glass and pass-thru mirror that allows live previews on an external monitor.

Akin to the million-mile Volkswagon...the e10 has been a helluva great camera and owes us nothing at this stage. Dropped it once years ago into a rocky river bed and had it rebuilt at a cost of $1,100 a few months later.

Actual 3/4-million shot from Sunday (setup and lighting test)...

Congrats.

Its always nice to buy something that pays for itself 10x over. :thumbsup

nice turnover

congrats:)

Exactly :)

In the mid-80s I had a first-generation 8mm Sony V5 camcorder that I put through hell and shot video with for a decade before it finally konked out. Towards the end we tried killin' it and failed (two hours of salt spray recording a sunrise on a beach in Barbados).

Best $2200 I ever invested in electronics.

wow, that's a boatload of pics...

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

I guess you`re gonna shoot that many more? :)

Nice meth lab... WTF are the needles for?!

Congrats :)

I suspect you're not overly familiar with bdsm/fetish and its assorted studio props. :1orglaugh

whats the shutter rated for in that camera? most dont live past 100,000+

Good question - I really don't have a clue. Searched dpreview.com and a few other places I couldn't find a shutter rating.

I'm guessing I've exceeded the rate - whatever it is. :1orglaugh

good to see a camera last that long, does it have a setting in it to show how many pictures its taken or you just guestimating?

The pics are sequentially numbered with P#######.jpg - starting at P0000000.jpg when it was bought new and never reset.

WOW... Olympus should give you a new one in exchange for that one...

we had one of those a long time ago. tony loved the glass.

congrats :)

congrat to you

The glass was the main reason we bought it way back. I don't normally like a fixed lens camera, but after seeing shots from it I was sold.

nice milestone

but i hope that still working
