Do digital camera sensors wear out?
Yes, sensors degrade over time (they’re not *just* a silicon wafer) as can the RGB filter (dye shift/fade)… but it’s typically 20+yrs and well beyond the rest of the system. It’s not just “time” though…it’s “cycles” and use/exposure and most will use their cameras much less than the hypothetical test scenarios.

How long do digital camera sensors last?
