My first camera (1986) was a russian film camera, which I am not sure that has a brand. (see my avatar) ;)
Then in year 1999 - first digital camera. If I am not wrong it was Mustek 3300 or something like that. It had the magnificent 3.1 MP. :)
Year 2007 - Panasonic FZ 7 - Good camera, a lot of noise ;)
Year 2008 - Nikon D80 - WOW! :)
Year 20.. - Full frame DSLR ;)

Sony A200. My first and current camera.
If I ever get good at this, one day, I'll like to get a Nikon D700 or a Sony A900.

I think my first must have been a Kodak Instamatic when I was a kid and I had one of those funny Kodak "disc" cameras somewhere along the line.

My first "real" camera (SLR) was a Nikon FE2 bought around 1982 (I still own it).
I switched to digital about 5? years ago with a Nikon D70.
I upgraded to a Nikon D200 at the beginning of this year. The D70 has been relegated to underwater photography.
No definite plans to upgrade at this time, but I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to the D300 and using the D200 for underwater work.  Now if I could just convince my husband that it's a brilliant idea....  lol

Well, I will use them forever.I love my 12-60mm and 50-200mm (and 11-22 also and ...). I will never give them or sell them to anybody. They earned all my future canons and canon lenses :)

It's not the weight of the camera, it's the fact that my whole travel kit will consist of two high quality lenses (11-22 and 50-200) and one body, all weather sealed, all image stabilized, with live view and an articulated LCD. Nobody else offers anything close to what Olympus has in this area. And if I want to go lighter, I can just take a couple of OM primes, which will also be image stabilized on the E-3. The 100mm f/2.8 must be the most compact, high quality lens giving 200mm of reach ever. It was the most used lens on my E-1.

What might change all this is if there's a weather sealed micro-4/3 body in the future.

First was an old point and shoot that used flash cubes, i had found it in an old box of my fathers belongings from his childhood.  Then I upgraded to a newer point and shoot film camera that I bought for $20 at caldors.  3 or 4 digital point and shoots later, I'm at the 20D and hopefully next will be the 5d mkII or the 50D

Yashica MG-1 (age 11)
Various 110 and Disc cameras
Rebel G
Digital Rebel
Powershot S5IS
  Wondering when we get a full frame Rebel. But will end up going to a 50d or 5d mk2 soon. I want more lenses first.

I am not positive, but I think that my first camera was a Yashica.  That was about 30 years ago.

Then came:
Canon T90
Canon EOS A2E
Canon EOS 10D
Canon EOS 30D

This is gonna date me.

My first camera was an Agfa Billy ...



I accidentally left on a roadside wall in Wales - on the A470 at the entrance to the Fairy Falls, near Bettws-y-Coed, if you're passing and want to look for it. That's how traumatic the loss was. I was only 9 at the time, but I even remember the exact spot.

I can't remember if I had another in between - maybe I wasn't allowed one, given my forgetfulness - but the next one I can definitely remember was an early single-lens reflex, an Exa 1a



This had a waist-level viewfinder and the shutter and mirror combined, rather like one of those bread bins with rotating lids, so you couldn't see anything through the viewfinder until you cocked the shutter again. It also had a massive 1/30th to 1/175th range of shutter speeds ... oh, and 'Bulb'.

And trains were still being pulled by steam engines ...

My first camera was the Voigtlander Vito B. It was purchased in 1958 by my grandfather at the price of 29 pounds, 14 shillings and twopence and passed to me as a teenager. I still have the camera and it still works but no longer gets any regular use.

My next camera is likely to be the new Canon EOS 5D mk II (if I get my savings back following the collapse of Landisbank/Icesave)!

Nope. I didn't drive at 9  :) Not even a horse and buggy. But my dad drove a Ford Popular.
