Aww heck, Canon FTB in late 1971 was the first Canon, ended up with 2 T90's before digital.

T90 is literally my favourite camera in the world, prefer it to the EOS 1.

Ahhh, I see you still have one, good on you. It was special for sure, no need to add a motor drive at all ;-), multi spot averaging is just SUPERB. I had a couple of A1's with the MA motor drives, but the T90's were/are amazing IMO. One of the few cameras that could keep up with what was needed at the time. The shape changed what cameras were to look like.

All the best and oh those memories

Yeah, the metering is great. I have that and a T70 (little lighter/smaller, still reasonably well featured). Those 2 replaced all my Canon F and A models.

400d, probably in 2008, brand new. My first dslr.

First Canon was a PowerShot something, cannot remember the model # but it might have been from the A series. Pretty simple stuff. Probably sometime in 2007?

Outgrew & got tired of that really fast and hopped on the SLR train. Canon Rebel XTi/400D, sometime in summer 2008, brand new. We instantly became best buds, attached at the hip, and it served me very well. I didn't go anywhere without it. I actually still have it. Not because I want to use it much anymore, but because I'm freakin' emotionally attached to the darn thing. Sigh. For no more than I could get out of selling it (especially since it's been well-loved like a worn out favorite pair of blue jeans), it's not worth it to me.

This one. Read the label people when you buy one. Never wash in hot water.

Started off with a Canon IIb range finder camera. ( Mid 60s.). It was a copy of the Lieca rangefinder cameras of the 40s and 50s. I upgraded the 50mm 1.8 lens to a 50 mm f 0.95 lens. Lens was so big it partly covered the view finder. Home got burgularized and lost that camera and lens. The lenses were screw in. Then I got my first SLR, an Asahiflex with a 50mm 1.8 and a 135mm f? Beautiful but fragile equipment. So many iris leafs the apertures were perfect circles. No pentaprisms, just a ground glass viewing screen. Two dials for shutter speed. If you pushed the shutter release in the wrong settings, off to the repair shop. Asahiflex became Pentax after WWII.
Then I upgraded to a Canon FT-ql. A great camera with built in spot meter. Had no money then and bought Soligor lenses. Spent lots of hours in the darkroom.
I sold the Asahiflex and the new owner drove off with it on the roof of his car.
Today I've got two Nikons. It was a tough decision to leave Canon.

First Canon was a 35mm point and shoot. Don't remember which one. Got it as a gift around 12 yrs old. Mom got tired of me running off with hers.

The first one I bought was an Elan II E. Bought somewhere around 1998-2000. I loved that camera and still have it. I would still use it for some things if I could find somebody in my area to fix it for a reasonable price. The film door latch broke while shooting an ice hockey tournament in 2012 giving me justification for my move to digital. Up to that time I couldn't justify to myself the cost of digital.

Bought the T3i in 2012.

All new.
