Remember your first camera? What was it? Is that when your photography hobby started? How many cameras do you have, and how did you progress through them? What camera took your first JP or Anet acceptance? Did you have any relatives that might have gotten you into photography?
Talk about your photography and camera history here!
My very own first camera (that I got to use all by myself), was a very simple 27 exposure Jazz disposable camera. Sure, I had takine occasional photos with my parents' Leica and Cannon films cameras, but they weren't "mine". Plus, I was only about 3-5 back then and wasn't responsible enough for my own camera yet. I took that Jazz with me to Kennedy Space Center in Florida and took a bunch of photos there.
That was the time before digital came along. My first digital camera that was a Largan 1.3 megapixel digital camera. It was gift from a relative. It took very decent photos, and I took it everywhere I went. It had only internal memory, but could take up to around 133 photos, and it also had various flash, continuous shooting, and movie modes. I rapidly started to grasp the basics of photo composition.
My next camera was the 3.2 megapixel Fujifilm A210, a very decent camera that took my first 7 accepted pictures on JP.net. I got it from my dad since he bought a Fujifilm F10. Obviously, I've used it before sparingly, but it wasn't "mine". I still use it as a backup today. Both of the following were taken with this camera.

When my dad bought the Fujifilm F30, I received the F10, which I still use today. Like the 210, I've used it before, just not much. I love the large Super CCD sensor it uses which also features a very decent 1600ISO. I learned most of the knowledge of a camera's various modes via the F10. I've used the F30 before also, but usually only when my camera's charging, I need a backup, or I just feel like taking a photo with it. It's not too different from the F10, except bigger buttons, a screen with a higher resolution, and a 3200ISO setting. Everything else is mostly the same.
I still use P+S, the F10 mostly, but since my dad's still planning to buy a DSLR like he has been for the last year and a half, if he decides to get one, I'm definetely old enough to use it (unlike the Cannon or Leica from when I was around 3).
