hours on camera

What would be a high amount of hours on a camera brain? I'm looking to by a used brain and was curious how many hours are the life expectancy of the cameras.

thanks!!

10,000-25,000 would be considered high to pretty high for me.

But it's not that clear if it's a factor. Honestly if a camera has been rolling that long without any issues, that's more of a confidence boost.

Generally though I'd try to buy under 15K hours. But really, the core thing is to inspect the camera's condition. Does it look like it was treated well? Visible damage often tells more stories than whatever is being told. Moderate dings are in bounds, but wear and tear on components or various places on the camera should carefully be looked at. Some people treat their gear like absolute animals. The phrase "beat it like a rental" exists for a reason.
