Whats considered a high shutter count?

whats considered a high shutter count and should be avoided?

it all depends on the Camera Haylee! your D200 should be ok to around 150k but some are still going at 200k! but it can go at anytime really! how many are you up to?

so 25994 is still young?

That's nothing really.

If you want to look at data gathered on all sorts of models and when they die - check here.

It's just like a car or anything else for that matter . Manufacturers will give an estimate but it's to be taken with a pinch of salt. Buying 2nd hand it's obviously good to know whether a camera has 10K or 100K but once the camera is yours I certainly wouldn't dwell on it.

ahh thats ok then plenty of life even time to save up for a new body lol
my sony a350 on the other hand doesnt seem to last long at all! poor little thing

Remember in that data - that a camera that has only been out for a short while will appear to have an average 'actuation death' that seems worryingly low because all those that died will have died prematurely.

I have upgraded my camera body roughly every 2 years, so don't worry too much about shutter actuation counts, but I still have my first dSLR (Canon 300D), it's on nearly 50,000 now and we still use it.

Like others have said, it's a bit like worrying about miles on a car, except that (unless you earn your living from photography) without a car most/a lot of people can't get to work. It's taken over 6 years for my 300D to get to nearly 50,000 (annoyingly it only counts to 10,000 and resets as well) so I don't think for most people it will be too much of an issue.
