I recently sold a Nikon D200 purchased in 2006. It was 7 years old, with about 90,000 exposures and the pictures were as sharp and true to color as the day it was bought.
One of my current Canon 1d Mk4 bodies has nearly 150,000 exposures and is 4 years young. I've seen no change in image quality over that time.
That said, I clean the sensors regularly with the VisibleDust EZ swabs and send my Canons in for a clean and check every year. Canon has never reported back an issue, but it gives me some confidence knowing they were looked over.
Cheers,
Gregg
