My first camera was a 1963 Kodak Instamatic.

My mum got it as a teenager in the 70s and gave it to me when I was about seven years old. All my first photos were taken on this camera. Sadly, film isn't made for it anymore. I love shooting film but it's just so expensive.

Canon AE-1 - my first 35mm manual that my Dad brought home from work for me.

Really helped me to learn the basics of photography with SLRs and took some stunning photos (sometimes rivalling what I take on my modern digital equipment).

That looks like my mum's camera! Can't remember what type of Canon hers is. I'd have to check.

The first cameras that I can remember using are my family's old 35mm Fuji p&s and then a cheap little digital Olympus when digital cameras were first being introduced.

My first actual cameras were the Pentax K-x and Pentax K1000. (using for a bit over a year now)

Gosh I have no idea xD All I know is, it could take about 50 pictures and it was a really bulky manual. Really ugly as well but then, I thought it was the coolest thing ever xD
