I' ve read that CCD sensors have a limited lifespan of aproximately 10000 photos. Near that point "bad Pixels" beggin to appear. Is that true? And if so, does the video feature deteriorates the CCD's performance quicker?
I have a Canon powershot A60 for about a year and i've already shot >3000 pics and videos. I consider to upgrade to powershot G6 but if the above are true, i wouldn't be intrested to lay that much mones to something that has an expire date.
