My oldest is a Panasonic G5. It took excellent images when new and nothing has changed.

I still have my Pentax Optio S30 3.3 mp compact from 2003 - my first digital camera. One A4 print from it with minimal PS editing was awarded 10/10 by a judge in a camera club print competition.

I always trade in my kit so don't have any 'older' models.
However no plans to change my E-M5iii so come back to this in ten years and I might update this.

I still have a couple of Olympus MJU and a couple of Fuji Finepix but they are not interchangeable lens cameras. My 12 year old Panasonic G10 was the first digital interchangeable lens camera. However I do not use any of them anymore.

I still have a memory card from an old Camedia Olympus camera. The images were 0.9 mega pixel but the memory card is a great big thing.

My oldest that is in use is Panny Lumix LX100. Superb IQ for a compact camera.

I no longer possess a compact camera - my 5-cam smartphone has taken over that duty - although I theoretically own a Sony HX90... it is on "loan" to a friend but I know I'll never get it back! 😏

Which leaves me with two Sony (APS-C) bodies and a few lenses which either of them can use. I do not actually know how old they are - shock, horror! 😱 Because I bought both of them 'pre-loved', in modern parlance, but in mint condition. One was launched in 2014 and the other in 2016 which gives the maximum ages. But I think they may be a bit newer than that from their condition.

No plans to replace either in the near future.
