Canon Shutter Age/Replacement

->> I was working the Pepsi 400 this weekend at Daytona, and had a problem with flash sync on my older Canon 1d body.
CPS was there and I was told that the problem may be an aging shutter. CPS plugged my cameras up and determined that the older body had 104+ thousand actuations, and my newer one was over 98 thousand.
So, I'm sending them both in for new shutters this week.
I'm wondering what is the typical working range for the 1d shutters. I know they rate them at 100 thousand, but wondered if anyone else had experience.
I thought about replacing them with Mark IIs, but the 250th flash sync is a Huge turn off to me...and I'm sure there may be something new on the horizon. |

| ->> I have 180,000 on one and 150,000 on the other. Both are still doing fine. I was also thinking about the Mark II but i am agreement with you about the sync. Won't switch until the sync is changed |

| ->> You have to remember, though, that the 1D II is usable at ISO 100 whereas the original is (essentially) not. |
