How many camera have you guys ever owned ?

Wow! That's a lot of cameras.

I've only owned three.

The first one was a Canon film camera in the 80's that my dad gave me when I was in grade school.

The second one was Fuji 2800 Zoom. It's 2MP with 6x Optical. I still have it and I keep it in the car all the time, in case I need a camera.

Third, though this shouldn't count, is Canon Rebel XT. I bought it, used it for a couple of months and then returned it. Got good pictures with it, but ergonomics was really bad. My hand got sore easily when using it on hiking trips.

Real third is my current Nikon D50. Definitely a keeper and I'm very happy with it. I'm looking to expand my lens collection as money permits.

3) Chinon CM4-s (first half decent SLR at 13)

4) Canon EOS 5 (Eye controlled focus....smart!)

5) Mamiya RBZ 6x7 (Heavy but lovely)

6) Nikon F3 (lovely)

7) Nikon F5 (lovelier)

Oh, my.
Ignoring small point-and-shoot film cameras:

1 - Pentax K-1000. For what it was, a very nice camera. Still have it.
2 - Canon 10D. A very nice starter camera for someone who wanted to take photography seriously. Sold it to fund...
3 - Canon 20D. Ignoring the AF-Servo issues, I like it a lot. About to sell it.
4 - Canon 1D MkII N. Oh my. I love absolutely everything about it except that it has slightly more noise than the 20D, I miss the 30% less "crop factor", and its heavy. But oh-my-god.. what an amazing tool. I blamed the 20D for some miss shots... I almost never blame the "N"... it's always me.

4 or 5 film P&S Olympus and Yashika compact cameras

Digicams:

3) Fuji S9500 - still have it.

a mid-range DSLR in a year or two, don't know which one just yet:roll:

[ELDDJOC]

I actually meant digital cameras .....

It seems that companies are pushing out products faster and faster these days, with little difference between them.

For some reason, I feel as if I always need newer digicams .....

1st Camera "1969" = Agfa Isomat-Rapid 24 x 24mm

2nd Camera "1971" = Dacora Super Dignette 35mm - Was my Grandfathers camera, still own it.

5th Camera "2002" = Olympus C-3020, my first digital.

6th Camera "2003" = Nikon 5700, wanted more than a point and shoot offered.

7th Camera "2005" = Nikon D70 a renewed passion for photography. Enjoying it more now than ever.

Saw the post that you only meant digitals, but was enjoying the trip down memory lane too much to stop.
