Nikon D70s. Just gave it to my brother in law and he's very happy with it. Nice big buttons. Pretty fast even by current standards. Nice sensor.
 
Panasonic Lumix FZ1v2, 2004. 12x IS Leica-badged/designed optical zoom f2.8 throughout the zoom range. Only 2 megapixels but fine for web and small prints. Eats batteries like one eats potato chips... Take 3 fully charged when I use it. Relegated to beach duties. Took some nice pics with it at a Robert Plant concert last year.
 
my pana lx3 is the oldest digital camera I use, 4 years of good service... and I think it will last for a couple of years more
 
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.
 
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!
