It used 127 film, was certainly not compact, and did not have interchangeable lenses.
OK, I guess it was compact in its day.
Mine too! In 1950 I think! Where does the Kodak 'Brownie' fit? That was my first camera.

oooooooh mine was older than that
it was square / cubed shaped and had a wee lever at the bottom of the front IIRC that was moved slightly to one side to trigger the shutter
it was originally my Mother's and I used it in 1958

Fisrt camera was a box Brownie which IIRC used 620 film given to me in the late sixties. First 35mm was my OM1 which I got in the mid eighties and then the K20 which I got last year.

I think my first camera was a 110 compact. That was a very common format for a while, wasn't it?

I answered 35mm compact, but that was wrong
I think it was actually a 127 compact which cost the grand total of 50p ( one week's pocket money at the time ), but took some good pics. I was 9 when I bought that. (197

My first camera was a Agfa compact which used 126 film cartridges.
After that I got a Fuji 35mm compact. Which was replaced by a SLR a few years later.
