thank you for taking the time to look it up. I have no idea why I thought
10,000 was
the magic number. perhaps it was during a late night of reading or I simply
remembered wrong.
I guess in the mean time I could get ready by finding some camera repair
shops.
I never really kept count of how many pictures I take and didn't think
10,000 was going to go so fast.

It's easy to go through several hundred in a day if you're covering action
sports!

Why don´t you just read the specs on the canon site:
