What's the expected life (shutter actuation wise) for a Phase One P45+.
Also what is the best way to check shutter actuations?

Really?!!! How much is "over enough time" and where has this info come from? My IQ180 has hundreds of hours logged with no sign of any shift whatsoever. There are also lots of backs doing massive amounts of airtime on military and civvy aerial photography platforms. I would have thought we'd have heard about this before.I'd worry less about actuations and more about flight time in aeroplanes. Cosmic rays and other high energy particles will gradually kill off pixels etc over enough time. Seriously.
No, Graham is correct that environmental radiation damage occurs to sensors and their associated electronics. The main impact is in elevated dark ("thermal") noise, which may be very noticeable at individual pixels - this is why there is a slow but inexorable rise in "hot" pixels over time, that have to be re-mapped out.Really?!!!

If it wasn't for the use of the word seriously I'd have thought you were trolling, but that's not a game I've ever seen you play Graham.
What about tin foil?:bugeyes:Now should you wrap your camera in lead? No, don't bother.
Well there ya go! Learnt something new today!I know it sounds fanciful but air travel and exposure to high energy particles such as gamma rays fries lcd, ccd, and memory chips over time. No, I'm not making this up. It's a cause for dropped pixels and memory bits.

Absolutely, Peter!What about tin foil?:bugeyes:
