" The EOS 5D Mark II has a rugged new shutter designed to withstand 150,000 exposures. Combined with its impressive build quality, this new shutter ensures that the EOS 5D Mark II will thrive in challenging shooting environments. "

The shutter broke on my 20D in less than a year's use. I don't know how many exposures I got out of it but I sure wish it would have lasted a bit longer. If I had to guess I'd say the 20D was rated at 200,000 + exposures. 150,000 doesn't seem like a lot to me. The other thing that bothers me about this model is the relatively slow 3.9 FPS which is much to slow for shooting action or sports.

I'm sure it's a great camera for certain shooting circumstances but it's not a good fit for me. I hope it works well for what you need it for.
