Over the last 6 years or so I had a 30D and a 40D, a 10-22, a 17-55, a 70-200 f/4L IS, a 50 1.8
*The 17-55 had the "dust inside" syndrom despite carrying a filter from day 1. Purely a cosmetic issue, never really complained.
*The 40D had an "err 99" after 2 years and a half and was sent to servicing : shutter was dead at about 16.000 actuations (far from the 100k). Had to be replaced but they didn't provide more details. Glad I extended my warranty with my shop in this case.
Use was moderate with some peak periods in wales, canada, south africa. Pretty happy with Canon overall. On minor details, both my Ef-S lenses loosened a bit too much for my taste mechanically but they all seemed to have kept high levels of optical performance.
