Shuttercount...it also depends what background the photog. is coming from , variety of 6x9 / 6x6 format on 120 roll film incl. a technical camera where 1/30 sec. could mean half an hour of setting up / adjust etc. , evolving to 35mm film with 36 pics., nowadays shooting Digital , yet , I Still have trouble to pass over 50 pics. a day , if that many !!!
So my camera`s all show a rather low count...even tho` they`re ancient by nowadays standards.
I have to agree with you.
Working in the sphere that I did, there was a lot of setting up, whether in studio or on location. After all that prep work...there was no need to take lots of images. When on holiday, the wife would blast everything in sight...so I've always looked for different subjects to supplement her reportage style. The net effect has been my cameras have all had lower than one might expect for ex pro equipment.
The only time I fired off lots of images was at sporting events...horse riding, motorsport etc.
