Your first camera?

Ok... so what was your first camera, be it point and shoot or slr...

I had a basic point and shoot when i was in my early teens but then my first "proper camera" was a Canon EOS IX



I still have it and that lense, i had a good set of lenses with that camera but the ex kept them when we split!!

My first was a supasnaps free thing you got when you got a film developed. My first point and shoot was a 110(think thats right, my first digital was a fujifilm 1400 and still not decided what my first dslr will be.

My own first camera was a Kodak instamatic ..bought in 1970 after working like a dog pulling beans all Summer long

Second camera was a Voigtlander 35mm given to me by my brother (still have it)

Since then we have had a Polaroid camera (still got)

Sony cybershot (still got and still used)

Several small cheapy digital cameras

Canon EOS 350d (still got)

Canon EOS 400d (Still got)

Coming soon :

Canon Ixus 960IS and Canon 5d

OOoh i had a play with the 5D, Lovely aint it!!

Mine was a throwaway camera too

Proper bought one (always had use of my parents when living at home) was a kodak 4MP digital.

I hope so LOL I have to wait for a week or two yet ...but my new lens arrived today ...no camera to PUT it on yet but still...

My first camera was a Kodak Brownie, you had to manualy wind on the film after each snap, and if you forgot or didn't wind on enough you got double exposure, or if you'd wound on too much you lost that pic as you couldn't wind it back

Here's a pic of one I found on the net

My first proper camera was an eastern bloc Zenit 11... Everything on it was manual... A great camera to get to grips with the basics - and I think it still is.... Heavy though.



Then I moved onto an Olympus OM-10 - I really liked that camera...



Onto the Olympus OM-40.... I liked the look of the all black body on this one



From there my father had a wide range of Canon accessories - so thought it a good opportunity to move over - and borrow his kit!! So then the Canon EOS-10 (35mm)...



After a while - went onto the EOS 50E - with its revolutionary eye controlled auto focus... (Shame it didn't work for me!!)



It was a long while then - whilst digital cameras were coming of age that I waited and waited - and waited some more.... Before going for the EOS400D last year...



And although this was a great camera - I wanted more... so I now have the 40D... and I think I'm happy with this... (for now...)



All I need to do now - is learn how to take a picture

I had one of those box brownie's 127 as my first camera as well.
