I've easily put 700,000 images through it and I think it's rated for about 150k so I'm not surprised. I knew it was starting to wear down a bit but was hoping it would last until the 5D Mark II comes out. Thank God for back up camera bodies.
What really sucks is that I am used to shooting with a full frame camera and now I have to re-adapt to the 20, 30, or 40D for two weeks until Canon gets the 5D repaired.
Poor me.
