A great all-round choice is the EOS Rebel SL3/EOS 250Dwhich boasts great autofocus and 4K video. It also features some grown-up specs, namely a 24.2MP sensor and a 3in vari-angle touch screen. Canon sees this as a way to tempt smartphone photographers to step up to their first proper camera. Resolution (ISO-12233):We use a resolution chart based on ISO-12233 from Applied Image inc to indicate the limit of the camera’s vertical resolution at the centre of the frame. The higher the value, the better the detail resolution. Professionally, I worked with both Nikon and Canon later, by deep in my heart the small and beautiful OM lenses and cameras were what I liked most. Today, I would consider them design icons; the old Olympus OM system and the Leica M system have more in common that many may assume – I wrote about it here: https://www.macfilos.com/2021/11/19/om-system-old-memories-optical-masterpieces-and-obscure-mistakes/. So (..a sample of..) Dunk’s camera would have been baked in Boots’ test oven for over an hour, frozen in Boots’ freezer, and had its strap – if it came with the plastic case and a strap – minutely examined with an electron microscope(!) – incredible, huh? – to make sure that it wouldn’t snap or fail! ..No wonder that it’s “..occasionally still used..” as that Beirette will probably still be going well for another 50 years! There’s no need for glue or anything else – like an Ikea table, everything’s in the box, and there are a few extra screws for the inevitable moment one disappears through a gap in the floorboards. Be aware, though – this is not a simple Lego set. It’s pretty complicated and will take a long time, and we wouldn’t recommend it as a project for kids younger than mid-teens.

At that time, too, I was working with a youthful Don Morley, who often accompanied me on road-test photo shoots and who later went on to much greater things in the world of news and sports photography. But it was Neville Maude who guided me to my first camera. A couple of years later, I had to return the camera as Kodak lost a lawsuit against Polaroid for patent infringement. In exchange, I received a Kodac Disc. When I look at the pictures now they look extremely soft and grainy but I still enjoy watching them as they remind me of my childhodd.And there are some other cameras to talk about, but also for another time, or this will be a longer article than the main story! Our editorial offices were at Dorset House, on Stamford Street, not far from the bustling Waterloo Station in London. We were part of the giant Iliffe publishing empire, and Dorset House was home to a vast array of technical publications, including Autocar, Flight International and Amateur Photographer, all of which are still thriving. My First Camera: Advice from AP I even drove from Peterborough to Manchester to take a shot of him holding his Beirette for a feature about cheap but very capable cameras for ‘Practical Photography’.) As as early as 1973 I replaced it with my first Nikon, a Nikkormat FTn. It was 1980 before I finally got my first “real” Nikon, an F2 Photomic. I still have two F2 bodies. A bit later, having grown out of the 44a, and while still at school, I started to use my fathers’ Agfa Isolette 120 film folder (with the Bakelite top – not metal), which had his name written inside the leather case, and a date 1940. I am not sure how he came by the camera in the war years, which were spent in London, some time suffering TB, and having a major part of this right lung removed, and working as a junior doctor (he later was a chest physician!). I still have the Agfa Folder, and serviced the shutter recently.

I wasn’t expecting to produce pictures for publication — we had a photographic department for that, and there were some pretty strong union rules about journalists taking pictures — but in an emergency, my photographs could be used. I think our age is showing here; it may be that in a few years. ‘first camera’ will be digital for most readers!
All this is by way of suggesting further development of this article such as which camera has been in your family the longest and do you still use it today? Also, what is the oldest camera or lens that you have used to obtain pictures? Another strand could be, do you have a camera which was owned or used by a famous person other than a family member? Or better still has your camera been used to photograph a famous person? For those who are looking for a little more of a project, it’s worth looking at the Lomography Konstruktor F - a fun build-it-yourself kit that gives you all the parts you need to assemble a fully functional 35mm SLR film camera in a matter of hours. In a way cameras have lives too and have seen a lot of things in those lives. Mike might recall how, as part of the Swiss Photos research, I found the details of the early life (in 1935) of one of my cameras written in Swedish inside a box which came with the camera. Mike and others helped with translation from Swedish. I later found a photo of the Crown Prince of Sweden which may have been taken with the camera as the writing inside the box lid mentions that it was at the event where the photo was taken. Its proportions make it perfect for smaller hands while the menus are nice and clear. The picture quality is very good too, with accurate white balance and well-saturated colors. It's not the cheapest Canon DSLR but it's our favorite for size, features, and long-term usefulness and the best camera for kids starting in college.
