Does anyone know how long a CCD can last? Obviously, being a photosensitive device, it does not last forever and its ability to collect photons deterioriate with time.
So, for a consumer level camera such as the Powershots or Coolpix's, how long do you think the CCD will last, before images become unacceptably noisy?
