Switched from Canon to Nikon for shutter repair and I'm not looking back
I spent YEARS refusing to touch Nikon shutters because everyone said the ribbon cables were a nightmare. But last week I had a D600 on my bench from a local photographer in Portland and I finally gave in. Took me about 2.5 hours start to finish, and honestly the alignment was WAY easier than the Canon 5D series I'm used to. Anyone else find one brand surprisingly easier than you expected?

Read on a forum that Nikon shutters last 50% longer than Canon ones.

My buddy Dave has a Nikon D750 he bought back in 2016. He shoots weddings every weekend, rain or shine, and he claims he's never had a single shutter issue. He told me once he passed 250,000 clicks and the camera still worked perfectly. Meanwhile, my other friend Sarah had a Canon 6D that needed a new shutter right around 80,000. So maybe there's some truth to that rumor, but I wouldn't base a whole purchase on it.
