I had a bushnell trophy cam die on me yesterday that I've had since I was in college, probably 12-13 years, I've never had another camera even come close to that, it made me wonder what's the longest y'all have had one last.

7 seasons and counting. The rest have all crapped out in one way or another. This one, a Scoutguard, doesn't seem to be taking as many pictures as it once did. It may be on it's last leg.
 
(3) 2009 Bushnell Trophy Cams are still producing for me. (1) cam doesn't keep the date and time accurately. I have several Coverts too but the BTCs are the oldest.

I had one WGI IR4 that lasted 5 years before it completely crapped out. Had 1 Moultrie MX 80 that went 5 years as well. Every other WGI camera I ever owned lasted 2 seasons at best. Current cameras I have are on year 2, lost one of the 3 I run in the flooding earlier this year and have not replaced it yet. Have 1 stealth and 1 WGI now.

The first primos truth 35 I think it came out in 07..... still works. But man is the battery life on it awful compared to the ones we have now.
 
I have several bushnells on years 3 and 4. Two other 2009 models are still working.

My Moultrie and Wildgames lasted 2 years tops until I switched to the Bushnells so my experience with those is pre-2009.
 
I've have 2 bushnell trophy cam HD that are kept year round in the woods since '11. 3 more that are from '12 and 2 from '13, last one is a '14 model. Best cams I've had for the money. I've used moultie, wild game and covert. Only had 1 bushnell fail after 6 months. They replace it free. Most cams get between 14k-20k pics on batteries.

My Truth 35s generally go all season on a set of batteries. They average about 500 still photos per week.
 
I've owned all sorts of cameras and numerous name brands over the years, and my homebrew and Reconyx cams take the cake on reliability and longevity.
