DSLR are highly complicated pieces of kit and compared to 35mm film bodies are more prone to go wrong because of the electronics.
100000 shutter actuations is equivalent to approx 3 to 5000 rolls of film.

The Hare & Hounds is pretty dingy lighting wise, the best shutter speed I got was 125th but was more usually 60th or lower at 1600 ISO. Did not really want to go any higher on the ISO to try and keep the noise to a minimum. Obviously the trick is to get the timing right before the spots change to a darker colour or the musician moves out of the light. Have to shoot a lot to get a few keepers.

At arena shows lighting is obviously a lot better so ISO can drop to 1250 and shutter speeds around 1/320 upwards are the norm.

There is one thing that is definitely bothering me: Is the lenses focusing noise through screw-drive (for non-sdm or equivalent) that loud?
Half-Click -> bzzzzzzzzzz -> not already in focus -> another bzzzz -> ta da: in focus, take that shot ASAP, please.
