Super Low Usage – Only 5,655 Mechanical Shutter Clicks!
This NEX‑5 has 5,655 mechanical shutter actuations and 11,229 total actuations (includes electronic operations like power cycles and live view).
Why this matters:
The Sony NEX‑5 has an expected shutter life of around 100,000 actuations, so this camera has only used about 5–6% of its rated lifespan.
For a camera of this age, this is extremely low usage. Most NEX‑5 bodies on the market have tens of thousands of clicks — sometimes far more. A low shutter count means:
Less mechanical wear
Longer remaining lifespan
More reliable performance
Better long‑term value
This is the mirrorless equivalent of finding a classic car with very low mileage.
