[QUOTE="stmv, post: 93899, member: 10038"] entrophy and wear, silicon is fairly stable, and these chips are not run 24/7, sometimes an effect like electromigration where copper can thin causing opens, and heat can cause fails over time. I am wondering if point and shoots are more likely to fail, since viewing thru the video port is essentially running that chip much harder then the digital SLR, where you you use the view finder and then snap the picture. I know that if you use liveview for extended time, the chip gets hot. overall, silicon sensors should have a long life, most computers fail due to hard drive fails, mechanical fails like keyboards, hinges, but not very often because of their electronics.
