What was your first camera?

[Blue4130]

110 camera from a McDonald's happy meal. Shot the heck out of it for a couple years until I upgraded to a Minolta srt.

Close enough. M50 uses the same sensor as the T7 if I recall. The T2i would take comparable images to the two.

yes

There Minolta or there happy meal camera? (it was bright neon orange. I've looked everywhere for another one, but have yet to find one - would have been around 1994 era) 

[GDRRiley]

first camera would have been a vivitar camcorder that did 720p 30 back in like 2011 or 2012
then in 2015 I got a canon T5 as I moved onto doing more video and especially photos
 

before both of them I think I used my parents canon powershots and sony HDD based camcorder

[Zodiark1593]

I had some toy camera that shot 110 film. Pretty sure it was from a happy meal. 
 

My first digital camera was a Kyocera FineCam l3v. Was considering finding another from Ebay to have in my collection.

sounds accurate for someone to own a vivitar camcorder who later owns a fs700r

@RTX 2070 Max-QYou can quote multiple times in one post. I'd appreciate if you did that or else I get one notification each time you post in this thread (because I'm following it).

I bought an FS700R because I got it for a great deal, and I wanted to play around with high speed footage and get a big camera as so many clueless people think I'm more pro. its dumb as hell but for whatever reason people assume big camera= more pro

I was thinking that your first camera was a camcorder and your camera now is a camcorder (Even though Im probably wrong)

sonys calls any FS/FX body a interchangeable mount camcorder not a cinema camera for whatever reason.

But everyone calls it a cine cam

they do but sony calls it "NXCAM camcorder with E-Mount lens system"
the only "cinema" cameras are the F55, Venice

 

sony is going to sony. everyone calls it a cinema camera which is fine.

the f55, f5 and f65 and now the Venice are there line of cine cameras part of the cinealta range

but this is Sony’s internal category of products

 

the fx3 is like and advanced version of the a7siii with certain additional features, the FS5/7 and fx6/9 are hybrid design that can be used for multiple uses like broadcast, live, eng, cine and the f5/55/65 and Venice are design to be dedicated for filming

 

with the Venice, to access all features you need to buy add-on licenses to activate. You don’t get everything out of the box because just buying the camera. A feature we love  about the Venice is to detach the sensor lens mount from the main body and becomes flexible for mounting a variety of ways

 

the first camera I use professionally was a panavision film camera with studio that gave me my first job in 1996, it was the same camera used in to film the 1997 movie Contact

first fun/hobby camera was a old rca camcorder

firsr camera I bought with my own money was a Sony pdw f800

A Kodak Brownie I found in the garbage when I was six. I occasionally shoot with it. It's one of the fortunate models that will take an unmodified 120 spool. I added the flash unit much later. No idea if the flash works.This is my first camera.

A Nikon 401. My first auto-focus. I chose it over the 601 because it takes AA batteries and that mattered at the time.

A Nikon FM2 with MD12 winder.

An Olympus OM-D E-M1. with a 12-40 2.8 constant aperture lens. Solid. Metal body and lens. O-rings all around for weather seal.

A Mamiya RB67 for the studio.
