If you were to calculate your camera's life in terms of shutter time, it would be a few minutes at 1/100 second shutter speed.
Here's another calculation: "If converted to time, a professional camera with a 300,000-shot lifespan used to take one photo every 10 seconds for 8 hours a day would last roughly 2 years."
Modern mirrorless cameras have a mechanical shutter with a lifespan of infinity, as there are no moving parts.
There is now imaging technology where "a camera can capture light in super slow motion, effectively moving at the speed of light. These cameras can record at a rate of one trillion frames per second, allowing them to capture light pulses moving at 600 million miles per hour in super slow motion. Scientists are able to observe light in unprecedented detail."
It is called T-CUP: The single-shot 10 trillion-frames-per second "compressed ultrafast photography" camera. The article in evolving science is HERE. The video of light passing through a bottle is HERE.
The unit they talk about is a femtosecond.
"A femtosecond is an SI unit of time equal to \(10^{-15}\) seconds (one quadrillionth of a second). It is used to measure ultra-fast processes, such as molecular vibrations in chemistry and light traversing a human hair, which takes roughly 100 femtoseconds. Femtosecond lasers are widely applied in high-precision, non-thermal industrial processing and medical procedures like LASIK."
Good thing they tell us it is a camera as the picture of it doesn't resemble any cameras that we know.
