350D at 27

Minolta XG-1 @ 16

I've still got it somewhere...

17 yr's old with Nikon FG.

OMG - was I the ONLY one to start with Nikon? For shame! LOL.

Bought a Rebel XT when i was 18.

Canon AE-1P in 1982 when I was 16. Damn, that's a long time ago.

Wish I never sold it either...

Pentax Spotmatic SP500 @ 13

1997
Age 24
Canon Rebel X or Rebel G 35mm SLR.
I can't remember which model it was but I spent $800 on the kit.
Bought the body, 28-105 and 70-300 lenses, and a flash and 10+ rolls of film.
I went to a concert and the point and shoot 35mm I bought the day before didn't zoom in enough.
this is 1 of about 300 shots I took with my first time using an SLP,

i was 7 and it was a canon 1000fn

XT at 18

Can't remember.:o:o

Something tells me it was a Canon AE-1.

Let's take this thread to the next level... Does anyone have pictures of themselves with their first SLR camera?
