I'm still using my 300D.
The shutter refuses to die.

The Canon Powershot S70 I bought new in summer 2005 still works flawlessly. Built like a small tank, but quite heavy compared to th new S90, which i also bought!

I jumped into the pond very early and very late. My original digital camera was given to me in lieu of payment for a magazine assignment I did in the mid-90's. It was a Kodak model that featured a serial connection. With files that weighed in at less than 1 megapixel, that was fast enough for its era. The image quality couldn't really even be thought of in those terms, but it was an almost charming little snap shooter.
I took a break from digital until two years ago when I got an M8. I really like it, even though it's been succeeded by the inevitable march of progress.

My son still uses a little Canon SD400 that I think we got in 2005 or so; also I still regularly use my Nikon D200 from 2006. I have a Nikon E800 in the garage from 2000/2001, 2MP and still works but is sluggish and lacking much manual control and thus too frustrating to use.

I've been using a Nikon Coolpix 775 this weekend - 1992 and still going strong. All of 2MP too. I keep asking other digital users what do they do with all the megapixels that they have - no great answer yet.
I know I'm not the only RFF member with a 775 because 'Mangie' was using hers at Ironbridge on this Monday! Although she did have her OM10 with her as well!

I bought this new in Shibuya in 1995 for about Y60,000. We used it for a year or two before getting some Sony floppy based cameras, and then a 2MP Kodak DC280, followed by Canon A60, all along with film cameras for serious stuff.
We still use this, as a photo viewer, as it has protected images of our late pets and relatives who passed away in the mid to late '90s.
Previously I had used non-camera CCDs for an astronomy project, but it was not a camera at all, just image capture, then later viewing on a PC.

My first one was the Canon Powershot S50. I voted "6 year", but it could be 7. It still works well, except that the white lettering on the mode dial has faded away long ago. Canon should have engraved the lettering rather than painted it on the dial.

My very first digital camera was one of those ugly square things from Kodak that came with a dock ... three or four magapixel from memory. It died within eighteen months and Kodak replaced it with a different camera because they had discontinued that model. The relacement which was also a piece of crap died within a year and Kodak weren't interested!
My A620 has been treated with no particular care and hasn't given an ounce of trouble ... I don't like Canon DSLR's much but their point and shoots are legendary.

Nikon D1, used it recently for infrared photography, but mine is a bit broken, when I take a picture, sometimes it does DOF preview instead of taking the photo.

9 year old EOS 10d still going strong and mainly used for family parties, and for outdoor shooting in rough weather or on trekking. As far as I recall, it is not even sealed very good, but it has withstood quite a lot of rough handling 
Used to change my carry-at-all-times (when not carrying a film camera that is) camera on a yearly basis, but stopped doing that when Canon stopped putting viewfinders into their P&S' - now carrying an A590 3-4 years old.

1992 Nikon Coolpix 4500, it doesn't get a lot of use in recent times but the 4Mp IQ is great and the macro performance is superb. It also has a slide copy attachment. But it takes around 1-2 seconds to lock focus. My daughter still uses my Fuji F10 occasionally.

Nikon 4500 still used occasionally for it's great macro performance, and the waist-level finder. But Lynn I bought mine in around 2004 so I am thinking you could not have got one much before then.

Recently picked up a Nikon 4300 in original box- of course not new but seller used the macro facility for his jewellery business. Yet to try it out because my Nikon 775 was at hand the last time I was out shooting. The 4300 must be older than the 4500, so it is probably pushing 7-8 years old.

I am regularly (almost daily)using a Nikon CoolPix 990 that I bought new in 2000 for about $1k. Its 3.4(?)MP are more than enough to document my patient faces on the clinic's medical records and its macro mode coupled with a +1D aux lens is perfect for clinical details. I am using it for 15-30 pics every day and it never quit working! One of the best investments, ie more cost effective, in my practice.
