My first one was an Instamatic like this one: http://www.nwmangum.com/Kodak/I36-1.html
But the first I bought for myself was a Practica B200: http://praktica-users.com/cams/bfirst/b200.html a terrible camera which was replaced by a Pentax one year later.

I'm going to skip the box cameras from my childhood. They were given to me and my parents were quite generous with the cost of film and developing. The first camera that was mine, that I bought for myself, was c. 1978, a Canon G-III QL17. A wonderful camera.
