I've got my 5D for a little over a year now (feels like a couple years, because I never use it). I'm the second owner and the camera was bought a long as time ago. Still going strong though.

Mine is a Nikon D70s that I had converted to IR in 2007. Aside from the tiny viewfinder being a little difficult for me these days (I need bifocals now) I still enjoy shooting with it and like the files it produces.

The oldest I am using most frequently is a Olympus EP1 which I bought when they first came out and regretted ever since as it was an over priced over hyped toy and I could not sell it as it was 799 new if I remmeber right with the kit zoom, and a few months later it was replaced by the EP2 and second hand EP1's were going for 200 some bucks. Now I will never again buy a camera when it first comes out.

I bought a Nikon D70s last summer as a second shooter. Made probably in 2005, so now 8 years old and still going strong.

My oldest digital camera in regular use is a GF1. I still like the feel and compact size especially with the Panasonic 14 or 20 mounted. The oldest digital camera in my collection of gear is the Minolta DiMage 7. When it was new I thought the world of it and the photos it captured. Every once in a while I load it with a set of charged AA batteries and a CF card, snapping off a few shots and patiently wait through the 30 - 40 second write time. One of the unlisted feature of the DiMage 7 is the built in hand warmer that is great in cold weather. But then it would only keep your hand comfortable for a short while before need a battery reload. I guess it serves as a reminder of how far digital cameras have come.

Just got back from my walk.
Holy Cow! How can such an ancient camera and even more ancient lens produce such beautiful photographs? They're not even photographs of anything special, they're just snaps from my walk and a couple of snaps of my friends, but they are just plain stunning.
All this stuff about having to have the latest, the greatest specs ... Sometimes, it all just gets in the way.

I got so into film cameras that I've yet to upgrade my Nikon to something newer... So I've been using (and enjoying) my D70s for many years. I was using my D100 up until last summer when it gave up the ghost.
I'll get a new one eventually. The only real issues with the D70s is the sensor is starting to get some dead pixels. Otherwise, it works like a champ.

I'm using Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D and it is still my primary DSLR. I works like a charm and I quite like the user experience with this camera as you can change almost any shioting setting manually with the dials and knobs without using the menu at all.

my RD1 since 2004. It's never let me down. I've learned to work around the dynamic range issues. I just recently acquired another digital, the Sony RX1. I have enjoyed using it, and have found that the faithful RD1 has been staying in the bag since it arrived.

Lovely camera, great user interface! Maybe I should use my Dynax 7D once again one of these days just for the fun of it 🙄

D80, although am completely unsentimental when it comes to digital cameras, and will upgrade when something newer offers material improvements that matter to me. These are genuinely exciting times, and I hope camera makers continue to push the envelope of what it is photographically possible to capture!

My one and only Digital Range finder is about 6 years old and is 4years in my hand. Hope it do more years still.

My Nikon D50, bought in 2006. 6mp of glory. It's a great camera. I use it all the time.

D3. I bought it off a professional photographer who had pre-ordered one the day it was announced - I got it for a song (and some change) the week after the D3S hit the shelves.
It still amazes me what this camera can do. I don't see us parting ways anytime soon. (Which reminds me, I'd better buy a spare battery one of these days.)

Leica Digilux, still a classic in my eyes. It took a smartmedia card. Still use it sometimes.

I don't use either anymore, but my Pentax K10D was bought by me in early 2009 and was working beautifully until I traded it on a Graflex this summer. The K10D is very robust and I expect it'll probably keep working for many years.
My Pentax Optio A40 still works...unfortunately I kept it in my pocket and kept busting the LCD screens.
The K100D I bought used still works, and was manufactured in 2006. My Fiancee still uses it regularly. it's her "big" camera.

After I sold my EOS 700D my good old 20D gets more use again. A great camera, I still love it. Feels much more sturdy than the 700D did.
