I still have the "no name" 35 mm film camera I got when I was a kid.
It cost me 50 cents plus 50 "Sugar Daddy" (the old taffy candy bar) labels I had to send in with it, and yes.....I still have all my teeth.
I took hundreds (or maybe dozens) of shots with that thing, and it doesn't work now, but I look at it now and then, and remember the excitement of recieving it the mail box that summer. (I'm 53, we didn't have UPS back then)
Moving along to 1995, I have a Casio QV-10 that still works well, and a pristine Panasonic "Superdisk" camera that came out as a rival to the Sony Mavica.
(For you younger folks, the Mavica actually held and wrote to a floppy disk. The "Superdisk" was a floppy that held a whopping 128k of data, as opposed to the 1.44 floppy disk limitation.)
Fast forwarding to the last year or two,
I have an XTi that remains attached to either a 90 or 180 mm Tamron macro lens I keep at home for the backyard work.
(excellent results)
A 30d that rides around in the trunk of my Goldwing motorcycle at all times with a 28~135 lens, along with an SX-100.
A 40d that is always in my Jeep, attached to a 200~500 Tamron lens.
A 50d that is always in my camera bag, which is always in whatever vehicle I'm in (or on) along with a 2.8 70~200L with 1.4 and 2.0 extenders, and an f1.2 85mmL.
In the studio, I have a 7d.
I like it, but it may trade places with the 50d before long.
Next on the list is the Casio EF-X1 high speed camera.
Just because it's a cool as heck gadget, and I can't wait to tinker with it.
