My first SLR was a cheapo Praktica with screw mount. Trying to change lenses while taking photos at local drag race track took way too much time, missed lots of shots. Also it did not have a meter, had a manual one. So I visited the local camera shop looking for a camera with a built in meter. Was shown a Pentax Spotmatic, but its screw in lenses turned me off. Next I was shown a Canon Pellix, just what I wanted - built in meter and quick on and off breech lock lenses. This was probably around 1964, been with Canon every since, through many models as I upgraded over the years. Still have the Pellix, and a later companion I got, an FX.

Interesting. Pellix=pellicle mirror; the first such SLR. 1965, (Wikipedia).

Bought a Canon T2i new in 2010 for stills and video. Sold it in 2011 and switched to the Panasonic GH2 because the Canon was a great still camera, but not very good for video.

Just for fun, because I remember this so vividly. Really strange that I do remember it so well.

For me, it was an AE-1 Program (all black) with a 50mm F1.4 lens. I bought it in 1982. Brand new from a Wolf Camera store at Yorktown Mall in Lombard Il.

Canon Powershot something - film - small silver model from either 2001 or 2002. Loved that thing, especially with b&w film. I have several of the shots I took hanging on my wall.
