I found a good thread on Flicker . It does seem that the number of shots taken has an impact on reliability, mainly the shutter release. One of the posters described how the mechanism has very little lubrication which dries up which can then exert drag causing issues and malfunction .Maybe this, on DPReview forums back when

Also, try mirror lock-up.
I do not think this camera has a shutter counter, but there is an online thing you can post a picture to and it will tell you what the shutter count is. D 70s have shutter issues, probably even more so with age. So many older DSLRs out there, some place like MPB or the like may have a newer one for cheap. I bought a Sony A350 and two lenses this winter for less than $150 USD.
It's not one of the things you generally think about at the time . It wasn't when we bought ours ! We chose it at the time because it was comfortable to lie on. Our daughter who was living with us at the time was ill and would spend most of the day lying on it .Oooops.
This is precisely why measuring before buying is usually a wise thing to do.
By the time you get round to pay the VED it will have gone up by probably £10.The blockade of the fuel companies by some environmental group or other earlier has put the delivery schedules back causing a bit of a shortage round here - perhaps another bit of pointless panic buying.
My vehicle tax reminder for the end of the month was delivered today and it seems to be the only one of my bills that hasn't increased this month.
Outside loo?I'm awake
Looks dry outside
Feel the need for a visit to the loo so must go
looks like a tricky road to bike on, eh?I got that wrong!
As soon as I went outside it all started to cloud over and started to snow pretty heavily...
oh too bad. but don't fret lots of us have been doing it for a long time. you can do it. do you have any special circumstances?It seems that I will have to go back to work in the office from next week
wow, I'm not even awake for 19 hrs a dayBought a Bluetooth speaker that claimed 12 hours play time. It’s currently up to almost 19 hours playing and still going. Nice when something actually exceeds what was advertised. I guess 12 hours is at full volume, and I don’t need full volume for my use case.
