Digital Camera: How Many Pictures? My question is an in-general question. I am sure that a more costly camera will last longer than a cheaper camera. I was just wondering about how many images can be shot with a digital camera before the “charged coupled device” is no longer good and yields a poorer image over time (pixel flaws, bright/dark)? Nothing is exact in digital photo, I mean 1000 pics or 10,000 pics, or more? What have you all noticed?

I've shot 10,000 shots in the last 5 months and haven't noticed any problems. Good question, now you've got me wondering ...

I have heard just a little about this. I hope the cameras are good for a long time!

I have taken over 35,000 pictures in the last 18 months and have had no problems with my two Nikon's. I make it a habit to take my cameras back to the manufacturers once ayear and get them to give them a thourough cleaning because of the amount of usage. Its like anything else though, the better quality you start with, and take caree of your equipment, the more excellent usage you'll get from your equipment. Cheaper is not always better, as you always get what you pay for - Allan

Let me answer your question with a question, how many hours is your television good for? Its a pretty complex answer, depending on the quality, make, model, etc a digital camera should last you years. I purchased a 4 mp olympus back in the day when a 4 mp was on the high end of things. I estimate I have shot 50-100,000 pix with it, and it is still shooting great!

I don't believe the imigery would degrade over time. If for some reason it did I would check the card. What will happen eventually is something will just quit working and you will have to replace the camera.

(two spots to be exact) I would post a picture, to show the flaws but no one would be able to save and blow it up in a paint program. Or is there a place to post it on this great site for all to take and see?

I, am asking because I have an HP 735, that has pixel flaws. The flaws are at the same spot on every picture. (two spots to be exact) I would post a picture, to show the flaws but no one would be able to save and blow it up in a paint program. Or is there a place to post it on this great site for all to take and see?

Have you had the camera looked at?

Kevin, this may seem like a silly question, but did you clean the camera, the lens, and the mirror and see if that improves the quality. If that doesn't have any effect, then it may be a flaw in the camera. Just a thought - Allan

Yes I cleaned the camera and also exchanged the HP 735 many times for a new non referbished HP 735 and all exchanged cameras have the same type flaws when capturing. I also get the same flaws in the same spot with or with out the SD card. It is not the SD card or a dirty camera. I think it is just the quality of a cheep camera. It was under $100.00 but it should work.

Kevin, the old adage you get what you pay for comes to mind in this situation. If you have replaced the camera with the same model more than once and still have the same problem I would change camera's. Evidently there is a serious flaw in quality control with HP.

The flaw is in the exact same place on every camera? Are you using the same card with every camera?

The flaw is in the exact same place on every camera? Are you using the same card with every camera? Not what I said. Every camera exchanged has the same TYPE problem with capture. The spots are naturaly in different spots. The spots show up in the same spots on the pic per camera.

Kevin, in your example, it looks more like just digital noise. I do see two areas where it is evident, and since you say it occurrs in all shots in the same location, possibly it is a defect in the cmos sensor HP is using. Regardless, the two points in question are so small, it is easier to just clone those pixels out, rather than keep sending back cameras.

Yes, it easy to just clone over the spots. I also don't like sending the cameras back and forth. I am going to get another camera as I have been looking at examples of the quality of pictures on this site and others. Thanks to all.
