Does anybody know how many frames is considered the life of the camera?
I'm thinking about buying a used 5D on e bay, it has 3,000 to 7,000 frames in 10 days.

The life of a camera is usually limited by the life of the shutter.
I don't know how the 5d is rated, but professional cameras are
often designed for 150,000 frames or more. I have a retired
Nikon n90 with nearly 50,000 frames on it. It only misfired a few times
a year after that much use. I think the n90 was only rated for
50,000 frames. I would expect the 5d to be much better than
that since it's a higher end camera. So, if you assume you've
got a 150,000 frame rating on the 5d, your ebay sample
probably has quite a lot of life left in it.
