THIS IS ONLY SPECULATION ON MY PART.
I would not be surprised if you can get 10,000 hrs out of the EX cams. If it is handled gently.
The parts that were the weakest links in the tape days was the heads and the load/transport tape mechanisms.
I also had a few problems with CCD dead pixels that needed repair.
It is wonderful to be away from tape, at least in the production part of the business, I still deliver on Beta SP a lot.
I think you are more likely to physically break the camera than to have anything wear out. Things like the wimpy baseplate and mic holder. I can also foresee problems with the EX3 viewfinder and the SxS door. Possible the battery port, and some of the rather cheap switches. Under "rough handling" in the production environment.
