Wow! It is hard to remember that far back.

60's to early 70's
Some sort of Kodak box camera
Kodak 110
played around with a Polaroid

Mid 70's a Minolta SRT 101 35mm
Minolta SRT 102 35mm
Late 70's a Minolta XD11 35mm

In 1999 I decided I wanted to help a friend of mine with a fan website for a local university's sports. I started with the old Minolta XD11, taking photos, having them developed, and then scanning them to put them online. It was a big pain.

In 2000, my friend with the website supplied me with one of the Sony Mavica's. I think it was a FD91 with the 14x optical zoom. It was about 1 megapixel and the photos were crappy and the floppy disk ate batteries like crazy. But it made it easier and cheaper to put photos on the website, though.

In 2004, I was wanting better quality so I got a Canon 20D
Here is the progression since then.

2008 Canon 40D + a Canon 70-200 F/2.8 IS lens (for the sports I was shooting)
2013 Canon 7D This was about the time that I decided I wanted to really learn and improve my photography.
2014 Canon 7D II

Edit to add: I still have the Minolta XD11 (stuck in a closet somewhere), the 20D, the 40D and the 7D in addition to the 7DII

Doc


2 Canon 1Dx's | Canon R6 | EF 70-200 F2.8 L IS II | Canon 300mm F2.8 I | EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM | Canon Extender EF 2x III | Canon Extender EF 1.4x III | Editing of photos is okay.

Oh, boy! No way can I remember all the dates. Here is a list, generally in chronological order.

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash. (still have a working copy)
Various 110 Kodaks.
Yashica FX-2 (1975)
Yashica FX-3 Super 2000. (best 35mm SLR ever made) Used 2 of these until the shutter broke.
Ricoh KR-30SP (or close)
Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (only camera I've ever won a contest with)
500D
450D
60D
SX260HS
5D
7D
G15
6D
70D

Seriously considering selling both the 6D and 70D to buy a 5DIII. I am not focal length challenged, so the 70D's only purpose is AI-Servo at my grandkids' sports/athletics events. 5DIII should handle that nicely.

Didn't want to give up my 6D, soooooo.... I sold the 70D and bought a used 1D3. So far, that was a good move. Added bonus: I pocketed some money in the transaction. The 1D3 is a lot of camera for not a lot of $$$.

I also completely forgot about my Canon film bodies: T90, Elan 7, Elan 7N, Elan 7NE, EOS 630(?)

Here is a time boxed version of my camera ownership history:

Rebel Xt

Rebel xt, 40d

40d

40d, 7d

6d, 7d

5d2, 6d, 7d

5d3, 6d, 7d

The plan is to keep using this setup for as long as possible until Canon comes out with attractive options in the 2k range. I am looking for a camera that can do clean high iso 6400+ images (aka sony a7 series).

Just some highlights... all great cameras in their own way.

First was this Coronet Midget, new on my birthday. This photo from a recent ad for one now a "collectable" priced more than my used 60D! I still have the first print I ever took with it.

Then VP Kodak (127 film) and other Kodaks
Exakta SLR 35mm
Konika T3 35mm
A small Olympus 35mm
Then digitals...Canon G1, G3 (converted to IR)
Canon A95
Several Canon SX series up to present SX50
Canon 60D
Panasonic FZ1000
