Is it true that after certain amount of photo taken the digital camera will start to give problems?

My camera starts giving me some software glitch by not able to playback the video that I had taken and refused to register the details of the photos taken after almost 7000 shots taken on the camera......Any reason why?

It is still able to playback the previous video taken but not the new one I took. Any one had a similar problem...?

After a while, every piece of electronics tends to break, just because the chance of it breaking goes up. There's no real set amount, but it can be anywhere between 1 shot and 1,000,000 shots, just depends on your luck. Try updating the firmware in your camera from the Canon site, as well as try to set all the settings back to factory default. This may fix your problem, but its also possible the your camera processor is starting to fail, and its time to get a new camera.

I'd also get your photos/videos off and reformat your card. Better yet, replace it. Cards will wear out a lot quicker than that camera.
