Your first camera: DSLR or Film?

My very first camera was a Kodak Brownie 127 given to me by my grandmother. My first serious camera was a Nikkormat FT.

My parents Kodak Brownie. But that was holiday snaps. I was 10 or so then...
Still the only camera my parents have, so it's not running in the family

My first camera was a Practica LTL3 somewhere around 1989 or so. Used Minolta for a while. Then quite a few Nikons. Then an Eos 1n.

First camera I ever used was an Argus C3.

Me too!

First SLR I ever owned was a Yashica POS, followed by a Olympus Pen F (big mistake, crop format isn't as good with film as it is with digital), then a Nikormat FT and Mamiya C330.

My first SLR was a Yashica Pentamatic

The first camera I used was a Pentax K1000 that belonged to my dad, though he didn't really know how to use it. My first SLR camera was the Elan II. A few years later I got my first DSLR, the EOS D30.

first real camera i ever used was a rebel xt that my wife got me for xmas 2005.

About 1951, a Kodak Brownie of some sort with twin lens.

First camera was a brand new Canon AE-1 - man, was I proud of that thing. I still have it and I still use it for IR shots. Never had a CLA - all I ever did was change the batteries - these cameras last forever!

Film : Leicaflex

Mamyia ZE 35mm film camera.

The K1000 is an SLR

Yeah I know that. I guess I meant to say that the EOS Elan II was the first SLR that I owned/bought myself. The K1000 was the first camera I used, which also happens to be an SLR, but it wasn't mine.

Ah alright, thats fair. I just still love my K1000, and I wanted to defend it's name!

Started with a Canon EOS 650, 50 f/1.8, Speedlite 160E, and an aftermarket flash head that zoomed and swivelled.

My very first camera was a little 110 when I was 8 -- I don't remember the manufacturer, but I do remember is was brown (hey, I was 8!). My folks still have some of the pictures I took back then. My first SLR was a Minolta Maxxum QTsi, but there were a lot of point-n-shoots between that little 110 and my Minolta.

I've still got that Minolta and a Pentax K1000 I was using at the same time.
