PSA: My old point and shoot camera from 2005 still works great, all because I read a review before buying it.

Totally! I heard those old cameras were built to last forever.

Actually, a lot of them are totally falling apart now.

Well, that's the weird thing about old gear. The bodies were metal tanks, but the stuff inside wasn't immortal. The rubber seals turn to goo, the tiny capacitors leak, and the electronics just give up. It's less about wearing out and more about materials breaking down over decades. You can have a perfect-looking camera that just won't turn on anymore.
