Not sure how many my D70 did but it plays up these days. My current camera is at 147,000 - but its rated for 300,000 so hopefully it'll go a bit longer.

100,000 is already at / past the life expectancy of the 1000D. If you're taking 100,000 photos or more in a year then surely a more professional body would be a good investment?
I'd not trust it anyway - not if it's important stuff as you'd not want it to fail mid shoot. If it's something that doesn't matter and you can nip down jessops to get a new body whenever then just run it until it breaks down.

Personally I'm getting a 2nd body sometime this year - my camera should have plenty of life in it before it needs repairing but if I was at a big race meeting then I'd cry as I only have the one camera right now.

Anyway - I'm not too knowlegable about Canon stuff but the new 60D looks awesome - at least, if you want to do a little video as well.
