My Canon T3I on occasions will not take a picture. I will snap a shot then try again giving adequate time and it will fight me on taking the picture or just not release the shutter at all no matter what I do even though I as pressing the button. At times I have to give up on it all together and use something else to get the shot. I though battery voltage and that is not it brand new batteries in it. It is about 4 1/2 yrs old still original parts. I am hoping the shutter is not dying but it seems this may be the issue. I do not currently know the count on it but it has to be up near 80k by now. I am not a professional but I do enjoy photography and this thing comes everywhere with me. Any opinions?

Does the camera focus? It is not unusual for camera to refuse to shoot if the focus has not been achieved. – Gnudiff Nov 25 '17 at 16:40
Do you have focus priority or shutter release priority? Do you have a filter on the lens that may effect focus? Is there a pattern to when this happens? One pattern I have seen is taking a camera from an air conditioned vehicle into a hot summer day. This can create a slight condensation on the filter which prevents the autofocus from locking in. If you have focus priority this can be an issue.

1Also worth noting here that auto mode uses focus priority, so a lot of people may be using it without knowing anything about what "focus priority" means. – Philip Kendall Oct 31 '16 at 10:28
