  My dad's 1964 Nikon F from Vietnam is still in the fight. A pleasure to shoot!

  I have bought a small camera kit from a friend who was short on money when I was short on money, he got it I don't know where or who sold it to him but he sold it to me for 20$ and the kit was 2 Nikon FE with 2X MD-12 and 4 lenses. Both are in perfect condition and I have put a roll of Ilford B&W film in it and I had this kit in a bag in my wardrobe for the past 8 years thinking they were probably junk or more trouble than they're worth and to my surprise the cameras are awesome and really high quality. I'm a newbie to photography but having this kit gives me a good start.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfOPFBIPiVM&amp;t=50">0:50</a> we had one 1983-1989 … and while I was in grade school and early high school, my dad let me use it. HIS camera was a lovely Yashica Electro 35 GSN. Think it was about as old as me. 😂

  I’m still using 11-13 year old Nikon APS-C DSLR’s for part time freelance wedding shoots. If one goes down or too many shutter clicks I buy another one on eBay. Super deals and the cameras deliver the shots. You gotta control the camera not the other way around. Love DSLR’s!

  I&apos;m a one-time newspaper reporter. Usually had an award-winning photographer along when covering a story. Never knew where the shutter button was on a camera. <br>Ten years ago I picked up a Canon T3i (2011) and learned it cold. I should upgrade, but the old contraption still gives me almost every photo I want.<br><br><br>t

  I feel the same way about my car. &nbsp;Your best camera is the one you feel the most comfortable with lugging and using.

  The Canon 6D, my all-time favorite camera, despite its limitations! &nbsp;The sensor is so good!

  I picked up a Fujifilm X-T2 and haven’t put it down since.

  I picked up a Sony a65 for really cheap, because the SD card slot was messed up. Really glad I got it working again, because now I have a really good DSLR camera from the late 2000s, which compared to my phone has 100 times more detail with its photos.

  I use using an Olympus OM40 just to rediscover the pleasure or shooting photos I like the fact that you never know what will be the results of your shoots. This camera is still amazing
