What was your first camera?


What was your first camera?

This year is DPReview’s 25th anniversary. Naturally, we’ve been thinking a lot about cameras from the past quarter century and even beyond. In that spirit, we thought it would be fun to update an article initially published a few years ago in which current and former DPReview editors share the cameras that gave them their start in photography.

We asked each editor two questions: “What was your first camera?” and “What was your first digital camera?” (For some, even their first camera was digital.) Read on to see what they were.

While we’re at it, tell us about your first camera in the comments. With such a diverse group of readers, we know there will be some interesting answers!
