I sold a 2001-era D1H in 2009. Why? I didn't need the F5-class AF speed anymore. Oh, and the Ni-Mh battery situation.

I love my Nikon D40 (introduced 2006). It's only 6 megapixels, but that is six million GOOD pixels. No video crap to make things more complicated.

I've also got a 2008 vintage Canon SD880is point and shoot, but I don't think I've shot a single frame with it since getting my iPhone 4S.

Canon A60, probably 2004. Once the familycam--the only digital--since late 2009 it has become the family underwater cam (I found a $5 housing for it), especially when I'm using the Nikonos III.

My first digital was a Sony Mavica circa 1998. It used a 3.5 floppy and was lower that the lowest JPEG setting on most digitals. Still, it made good postcard images. But I went back to film and only use digital when I get an occasional job.

My Lumix fz 30 has a wonderful lens, is a little slow and doesnt do wide angle or low light. It is 8MP and I don't need another digital camera. I will be disappointed when the sensor dies. My next digital will be a waterproof cheapie and the one after that something that can take film camera lenses.

Hi,
Canon 5d, thinking of switching back to Nikon, but that full frame it's hard to go back
to smaller sensors.

Canon G3, 9 years old. It has outlasted quite a few smaller cameras. I still use it. I had to get a new battery for it. Only 4 megapixels though.

It will not die.

2001.. Nikon Coolpix 995... Actually I bought it for catalog/manual preparation for our products in the company, later I bought a D200 too. Funny but the staff still loves to use the 995 over the D200 (maybe due to its split swivel body.)

I regularly use my old Canon 30D...which is about six years old now? My 5D was bought used and I can't imagine "updating" it to a newer model. If anything, I'll buy another 5D.

(I still have my old Olympus E-10 and a Canon 10D, but only the 10D gets any use and that is rare. It just isn't worth anything, so it isn't worth selling.)

Nikon Coolpix 995 here too. Still a great camera for closeup shots for web use. The macro capabilities are pretty awesome!

DMC LC1, from around '04-'05. The D2 twin.

Excellent jpegs, simple controls, Summicron 28-90mm lens. Kind of a brick, but in some ways unsurpassed even till now for low-ISO shooting.

I still use my Panny TZ-3 from time to time when I need the longer zoom. I got it in late 2007, so I'll round up to 5 years. That's ancient in digital years!

Ricoh GR Digital Anniversary model (the blue one) keeps on going. No junk or dust on sensor, knock on wood.

Nikon D200. I really can't imagine needing anything else in a digital camera.

Digital? My first was a Rollei DR5300, used from 2005 to 2008 when I tripped on a beach and fine sand killed it. So I bought a Samsung S630 because I didn't want to be without a camera for the rest of the holiday. That was used for the next three years: inferior image quality but pocketable. For the past year the X100.

Non-Digital on the other hand.I still have the FED-3 I bought in 1968, I used it last month. I still have the XA2 I bpought in 1983: last used 2000. And the EOS 620 of 1987, last used 2004 during a very wet weeknd in Wales after which the shutter became temperamental. Replaced with a s/h EOS 1, which was last used in 2011.

The oldest one I bought new is a Fujifilm S5 Pro (still love the files it produces), but I have two Olympus E-1 which I bought "as new" not too long ago for peanuts and which also produce great 5Mp files which are much older (year of production I mean).

I bought a Canon A620 in 2006, about a year after the model came out, based on its specs and the enthusiastic reviews of it. Despite being bounced off hard surfaces from about five feet a couple of times (and almost dropping in a lake after one of those bounces), it still works fine. I keep it in my car for those times I don't have one of my newer, more expensive digital cameras or one of my film cameras with me. I can always depend on it to take sharp, clear photos. And it takes AAs.

I still use a Nikon D2h. A great camera for sports as well as general photography. Not a lot of pixels, but beautiful quality, sharpness, and color.
