Started with Minolta P&S. Landscape & wildlife. It died a natural death.
Moved to Minolta x570. Landscape & wildlife mostly. Still have it.
First digital was Olympus UZ 2.1 mP. Landscape & wildlife. Wife has it.
Then Canon 10D --> 20D. Mostly youth sports. Still have the 20D.
Now 1D3. Youth sports primarily. And still have it.
Wow, guess I am a packrat.

I started with my dad's Canon FTB QL and a 55mm f1.2 for a few months. Eventually, I bought my own Nikon F and a Nikkor 50mm f1.4. Played with large format photography while I was in my teens and in college. My 1st DSLR was a Digital Rebel (300D) just as a "test" system, sold that after a month of usage and got myself a 1D once I got more comfortable with digital.

Any mechanical camera with no built-in meter or a broken meter will do Some cheap lightmeters like the Gossen Pilot 2 do not need batteries.

back in 1975 I started with a cheap kodak 110 cartridge film camera, them moved on to a Fujica st605 35mm, then progessively moving up to Nikon F2, F3, FE, then to the beatiful Canon 1V HS, then switched to 100% digital in 2002 with the first really affordable High Res Dslr...Canon D60

Went to buy a Rebel and ended up with a Elan II. I used to dream of buying a Nikon FM2, which then got replaced by dreams of buying a Canon 1N. The Elan II is still around and put to use.

Only one other post here from someone who started in Vietnam. My Canon FT served me for eight months in 1967. Sold it and bought a Nikon F while on R&R in Japan--actually the Nikon F was the objective of the Japan R&R. Used that Nikon F until 2003.

Started with a Canon AE-1 and upgraded to an A-1. I still have it and it's great camera. I need to buy some Velvia....
My first body was also an AE-1 and I still have it. I also have my T-90 and EOS 650 but I gave away my EOS 5 and EOS 3 - the 3 just last week. I gave the 3 to my daughter's school as they still use film and have their own darkroom.
