As a home inspector I take a lot of photos, some illustrate a defect, other for archival purposes. My cameras are in some of the dirtiest attics crawlspaces imaginable, not to mention the sand from a beach home. Needless to say I burn through cameras to the tune of 1 every 60-90 days.
I've tried the most expensive to the cheapest. I gave up on the super expensive because I found myself worried about dropping the camera while on a ladder, roof, or using it with a rain cloud in site.
Lately, I've settled for the Nikon Coolpix series. The cost is anywhere from $150. - $300. and they seem to last the longest... about 90 days. I calculate I take approximately 1300 pictures a month. Towards the end of the life of the camera, the on/off button works intermittently, and I know it's time for a new camera.
So, what kind of camera do you use? ....I'm in the market for a new one, and thinking of switching.
