What is the life expectancy of YOUR camera?

[tirediron]

I hope you are right, tirediron, but that doesn't appear to be what it says:

"Average number of actuations after which shutter died: 12,286.3" for the Canon EOS Rebel XSi (450D). :(

I missed that line. I would be very upset to found I'd bought a camera that had such a poorly made key component. That sounds to me more like a design issue that should be addressed by product recall if true.
