Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm publish a rated shutter durability for most bodies — for the A7 IV (ILCE-7M4), that figure is approximately 150,000 actuations. This is a statistical durability rating from the manufacturer, not a hard limit — many shutters keep working well past it, and some fail earlier.
