Anyone who could afford to burn $25,000 to $100,000 in the course of a couple of years certainly wasn't worried about wearing out their shutter
Today with digital it is all too easy to rattle off a thousand frames at an event, which can be good when you're learning but you should be aware of the cost
If your camera body cost $1000 and it breaks down after 25,000 shots then it has cost you about $0.04/shot
If your camera body cost $1000 and it breaks down after 100,000 shots then it has cost you about $0.01/shot
In your case I think that the body (without lenses) has a value of around $500 which translates to a cost of $0.005 to $0.02 each shot
Cameras in this price bracket are usually replaced by their owners when this happens since the cost of repair is often uneconomical running into hundreds of dollars
