    Why do you feel the need to change it? Has it been doing everything you needed it to do?

    250,000 is pretty high even for a pro body. My D3 is rated at around 150,000 average and I have heard of them going beyond 300,000 no worries. If your shutter fails, its alot cheaper to replace the shutter than the entire body...so keep shooting until that shutter dies (not many people can say they've had a shutter die in the 100K's...most people don't reach that anyway).

    You could get another 150-250K is you're really really lucky or God forbid.....you might not get another shot.

    If you are concerned, see how much a new shutter will cost to put in and have some peace of mind. I'f you've got a 2nd body shoot that baby until she gives out!
