My Camera History

My Analog Cameras | My Digital Cameras | My Wife's Analog Cameras | My Wife's Digital Cameras

On this page, I list all the cameras that I have owned, be they analog or digital. In addition, I list my wife's digital cameras. At a later point in time, I may add photos of the cameras...

The cameras that we still own are boldfaced (I sold some cameras at the end of 2009 to clean up our shelves).
