my only digi camera is now 13 year old olympus c-3000
works great, but very slow. back then it cost a fortune (got it from my brother) and has a stunning 3 megapixels!
 
It is not exactly the most used camera, but the Minolta Dimage 7 from 2002 is still kicking. I use it for IR mainly. One should try an older digital camera to see how far the breed has evolved.
 
Canon 300D. Made go to medium format after 3 years. But I still use it regulary. Only lately it has become problematic with the CF cards.
 
The only digital camera I own (and have ever owned) is a Fuji S7000 which I have used extensively for 9 years or so and still use.

Occasionally it has a problem. In extreme heat the zoom operates by itself or won't operate at all. It also has a hair in the ELF that's a bit distracting. And sometimes it thinks my batteries are flat when they aren't.

Probably time I got a new one!
 
Most regularly used is a Canon 10D. Just about as old and frequently used is a Canon G6. The G6 fell out of a jacket pocket onto concrete. About a 2-1/2 foot drop. The body came slightly ajar at a seam and I had to shave some of the plastic around zoom control to let it turn freely. Other wise it works great.
 
My HP 945 (5.3mp) which I bought new in 2005 (I think) produces wonderful pictures. I want my film pictures to be better, and have 'soul' etc., but my favourite shots most often come from the 945.:rolleyes:
 
My old Canon G3 has been on a very extended loan but recently asked it back only because I'd like to try some IR photography with it.
 
My oldest is the tiny Fuji F30. It doesn't get used a lot but does produce good results. Encased in its silicon suit it's a good choice when the weather is on the fowl side. Must give it an outing.
 
For quite a long now I use my Nikon D90. In contrast to my analog cameras, I do not collect my digitals. Once they are too old, or broken beyond repair, I give them away and replace them with a new one.
 
I collect a few odd digitals, but the oldest one I still use on a regular basis is my K10D SLR from ~2006. I bought it used.

My 2008 Pentax Optio A40 is still working and taking great images, though it's on its fourth screen now. I keep breaking them.

I do have a couple Sony Mavicas I got from a friend, but they're more of a toy :) The sound of the floppy disk seek when you click an image is awesome.
 
I'm just waiting on a memory card for my new Kodak DCS 420, so I can put it to work. I've got a project lined up for, and it's going to earn it keep.

State of the art from 1994.
