Honestly, when comparing these two cars, I think the bigger factor is not the brand (since they are both reliable) but how the car is maintained. Keeping up on regular maintainence will be a larger determining factor. So buy the one you like better and maintain it and you'll be good to go. If you like the Camry better, then buy it. But if you like the Accord better, don't buy the Camry because you think it's going to last longer.
There was a recent article in the news about a year or two ago about a courier who drove a Honda Accord one million miles, he credited not only the car, but the fact that he kept up on routine maintainence.
Unfortunately the original news link is now dead, but here's the thread:
